Ha! You’re right. And here’s another advantage I had. Whenever an “educational consultant” would observe my class, he wouldn’t know what the heck I was teaching anyway. Those guys were all education majors.

Which brings me to an important point. Here’s the single best thing you could do to improve education in America: abolish university Schools of Education. Those places are worse then just useless. They are places of lunacy.

There are many ways, some of the best reforms came from a not so "right" think tank writer, Eric Hanushek , had a good book back in the early 90's and many more. He was a big believer in Merit pay for teachers, which I also support. It's a lengthy well thought out proposal..

That is the problem with Houston Independent School District. They will only hire education majors. Yet there are a lot of retired engineers and scientists here, but they are regarded as not knowing anything. And at one college of education, it’s taught that math is white privilege, and “logic and reason is the perpetuation of white cishetero patriarchy”.
