You seriously think teachers specialize in what they teach? Maybe in good cases.... but find any school with a vibrant sports program, and you'll find "Coach" teaching algebra.

I've had an excellent schooling process so far. My teachers, for the most part, have been highly capable, genuinely likeable, intelligent people. I don't know if that's just because I live in a good town that draws in quality teachers, or if it's something completely different. I guess I have a 'good case', and I won't settle for anything less for my own little people. I believe strongly that it is the responsibility of the parents to do better for their kids than their parents did for them, and I'm no exception.

Under federal law, all teachers must be highly qualified in their field. Otherwise, they cannot teach any longer. The process will be complete within a year. This is every state.

By the way, if that coach is teaching algebra, he must be certified.
