Wonder how many would make the list if it were of teachers that can’t teach or even pass a nominal test on the subject they teach?
The percentage of teachers who are worthless would be staggering.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I wonder how many could pass the GED for high school drop outs.

I have previously posted that I think all government teachers should take and pass Calculus I for math and science majors. Few need it for what they teach, but it would guarantee that they were smart enough to deserve the pay check and very generous benefits they are receiving.

Very small percentage would continue as teachers if a calculus test were mandatory.
Quite obvious if ya look at our kids math scores when compared to the rest of the industrialized world.
