I don't deny that degree-buying exists. Too many people do it, and it's not limited to the field of education.
I agree. I said in an earlier post the degrees were all over the place. It may just be more prevalent in my area but I know a lot of teachers and would bet they agree with me.
I would not have a teachers job. It is one of the least rewarding jobs in this country now and that was not the case when I was growing up. In my school years I never met a teacher that did not care and never met one I did not respect but oh how the times have changed.
