I’ve read articles that “Ed majors” tested on the bottom 25% SAT exam.
Considering the horror stories of how utterly stupid so many teachers are, I believe it.
If I need heart surgery, I want someone who was educated & trained as a heart surgeon.
I want my children taught be people who were educated with math, science and degrees that are relevant. “ED” degrees are totally meaningless and become a tool to indoctrinate the kids with socialism.
“Hey, teachers - leave our kids alone!”
Remember 50% of all doctors and lawyers finish in the bottom half of their class.
