Most people that are good at Math do not teach Math. Instead, they become engineers.

I have often posted that a minimal requirement to be a government K-12 teacher is to pass with a “C” the **same** Calculus 1 and Chemistry classes that the engineering students, math, and science students are taking.

Do most government teachers need or use calculus or serious Chemistry? No, they don't but it would insure that they are smart enough to be teaching in any classroom and help lessen the phobia now routinely found in the nation's classrooms.
