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.

I do have a degree, but I also know that neither Steve Jobs nor Rush Limbaugh nor Bill Gates ARE QUALIFIED TO TEACH A CLASS OF MIDDLE SCHOOLERS UNDER YOUR STUPID SYSTEM.

so yes, maybe you ARE stupid.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Your answers indicate that you are simply an apologist for the status quo and the “teaching profession.”

It also indicates that you put too much value on “a degree” in spite of a mountain of evidence that there has never been such a disparity between the cost / value of “a degree.”

You are part of the problem. I home schooled my kids. I am part of the solution.
