Number 1: I have absolutely NO desire to move.

Number 2: At my age, I have no desire to go back to school and get a masters degree - not cost/benefit effective.

Number 3: My point is - Having a "teaching degree" does not necessarily make for a good/qualified teacher. I'm proof positive of that. I can't tell you the number of students that have been to numerous other computer classes that have told me that they never understood the "how to" until they took my classes. It takes patience, understanding each student, thorough knowledge of the subject of the course and most importantly - the DESIRE to pass on your knowledge not just the "reward" of a paycheck!

Dear 2nd amendment mama,

"Having a 'teaching degree does not necessarily make for a good/qualified teacher."

Well, actually, having a teaching degree does mean something. It means that one belongs to a population that is intellectually near the bottom of individuals with college degrees.

No, having a teaching degree doesn't necessarily make you a good teacher. However, it has been my experience that all teachers are placed in the same category by many homeschool proponents, as if no good teachers exist in the country. That isn't even close to being true.
