Excuse me? My daughter is getting her degree in education at an accelerated rate. My sister-in-law is a teacher. Neither are dummies.

There are always exceptions that prove the rule...but “studies show” that the schools of education contain, on average, the underachievers of the future.

education has the lowest sat’s and gre’s. down there with journalism and phys ed.

the program is more indoctrination than analytical skills.

face it, education is not as difficult as physics, chemistry,

math, engineering, finance, latin, greek, history etc.

i used to work in an admissions office and looked daily at students’ grades and test scores.

It’s a saturated market. Does not matter how smart they think they are.
If there are no jobs available, then it is a bad degree to get.
Just how many coaches do we need for schools?

i hope her degree is in math or some kind of science like biology, chemistry or physics so she can get a job elsewhere if she can't find a teaching job

“My daughter is getting her degree in education at an accelerated rate. My sister-in-law is a teacher. Neither are dummies.”

No one said they were.

However, it is factual that in most universities, the bottom 10% of the IQ spectrum IS found in the education department.

True for the education department faculty.

True for the education students.

“Neither are dummies.”

OK, but neither are educated by virtue of a degree in education, either.
