[C. Edmund Wright]

For a teacher, you have reading comprehension issues and are very touchy about criticisms that aren’t leveled at you - but your touchiness is instructive.

I am not talking about switching careers - I am talking about the many many folks I know who would teach part time to share what they have learned in the real world with kids in the classroom. Many would do it for free.

The “degree” is still a requirement that would hold out a lot of qualified folks. Why should a successful entrepreneur of some 25 years need a damned economics degree to be allowed to teach? Why should a man or woman whose run dozens or hundreds or thousand of employees have to take a damned “classroom management class” BS? What is the “specialization” general skills test?

You prove my point. I hope you don’t coach debate.

I am sorry I am so dumb. I guess you forgot what you wrote in your first post. #13. Remember about all the millions of people who would love to teach gratis? Yourself included.
I am sorry for you as it is evident you are upset that you do not have a degree but are successful. That is good but if you took the time to read my post you might understand that teaching is not as easy as you think it is. I suggest you try it. You could sub. if you want to help out.
I don't mind criticism. What I mind is someone shooting off his mouth that doesn't know what he is talking about. And when I try to inform this individual of some facts he takes my head off. You have your mind made up and nothing an intelligent person can do will change a mind that is closed. Have a nice day Skippy.
