Right. And a good - and doable - first step would be to get rid of education degrees. Reily suggested that in his post #18.

Some degrees are useless. A degree in 14th century French poetry, for example. But education degrees are worse than useless. They are actually harmful.

As I noted elsewhere, I spent many years teaching in urban public high schools. The good administrators there almost always had real undergraduate degrees. Maybe a degree in business or in math. The bad administrators almost always had undergraduate degrees in education. Their heads were filled with mush.

So if you wanna teach, you should first have to get a degree in your subject. And then take a few teaching classes on the side, so you can learn the best ways to present your material.

Through years & years of being a student I have discovered you do this by being organized! ...Well DuH!

1. Summary: Tell me what you are going to teach me\tell me.
2. Teach me\Tell me!
3. Summary: Tell me what you taught me\told me.

Ok all who read this, are now be duly certified to teach!
