my old tagline...
Why do you need a masters degree to teach 3rd grade math?
My youngest daughter’s third grade teacher has a Masters degree. She cannot conjugate a verb. She cannot do third grade math. I don’t think she could do Common Core first grade math! I didn’t know how bad she was at math at the time my daughter was in her class. I was told recently that my child and a few of her classmates used to correct their teacher when she did a problem incorrectly. (a special ed paraprofessional told me this.) The teacher was moved to teach the youngest children in the school. Thankfully, all she has to do there is turn on counting videos. Ugh. But she has a Masters degree!!! That makes her highly qualified.
