I’ve said it on this board many times. In the school of engineering/math we would watch people drop out, head to the add/drop line and enroll in the school of education or the school of communications. The result? These same people teach our kids math and sciences, they report on technology and global warming and don’t have a clue.

I recently witnessed a situation where a a veteran AF officer of 8 years, graduate of the Air Force Academy, Pilot, with a major in math and mechanical engineering was turned down to teach H.S. math because Ohio does not recognize the AF Academy credentials. That is “freakin” pathetique.

I will clarify that my observations are my own. My views are not a blanket statement. There are some very qualified teachers. But the system has purposely been diluted.

Williams supports his article with facts ... the SAT scores are solid indicators of a trend. The answer from a politician is throw more money at it. Boehner/Kennedunk proves their own IQ. And on that statement I will shut up and keep my powder dry.
