"Ironically, under the newly enacted District of Columbia voucher law – a major priority of the Bush administration and its allies in Congress – teachers in private and religious schools receiving taxpayer-funded vouchers don’t even need to possess a college degree.''

Since when is a Degree in Education considered a college degree?

It's not even a recognised field of study,last time I checked.

You can go to your local Cow college and get an ED.D,there is no Phd in "education".

It's vocational training,at best,so stop pretending you're educated.

Well, regardless of what you think of the degree, you aren't going to find an ED.D in the classroom. That is for the administrative order of educator and that is a whole other discussion.

There certainly are college degrees on all levels in Education. I am currently going for my M.S. in Education while working as a substitute teacher. I do agree that the qualification requirements are high and mighty and not necessarily useful in and of themselves....but you must get them if you want a job in teaching.

While I'm on this topic, let me urge all parents to continue to pay careful attention to book lists and what is being read aloud by teachers at schools. I am appalled at some of the negative trash that is being passed off as literature and poured into the ears and eyes of your children.
