To be a teacher, one must pass the PPST (basically a high school level test for Reading, Writing and Arithmetic).
Many teachers spoke of the difficulty of the test that should have been relatively easy for a high school graduate and child's play for a college graduate.
Scary.
Thanks for sharing that. I was blessed with really talented teachers (grades 1 to 12), graduating in 1982. Today, anecdotally, the few teachers I now know are frighteningly naive and dopey. We hear a lot about home schooling on these threads, but while my home taught niece and nephews got a fantastic Christian education, they are severely lacking in exposure to too many other academic areas.
I just don’t know how parents do it!
