Are public school teachers UNDEREDUCATED??????????????
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I have an idea!

Insist that all government teachers take and pass the GED by Christmas. ( How many would fail the math portion?) If they fail, fire them.

Insist that all government teachers take and pass engineering and science major Calculus ( by September 2012 with a C+). They take the **same** classes as the engineer and science majors. How many would fail? Most?

No, Calculus is not really needed for most teaching but it would be the best IQ test of all and it would assure that the teachers didn't bring their math phobia into the classroom.
