A wide body of research has consistently identified teacher quality as the most important means within a school’s control to improve student learning.

There is a simple solution:
Require **all** government teachers to take and pass Calculus with a “C”, and they should sit side by side in the **same** courses as the math and science majors.
Do that and the overall IQ and competence of all government teachers would immediately improve.
As it is now, I doubt many government teachers could pass the GED ( for high school drop outs) math exam even if given a month or two to prepare. If government teachers are incompetent in math, then they subtly and overly communicate their antipathy to their students.
“pass Calculus with a “C”, and they should sit side by side in the **same** courses as the math and science majors.

LOL - good luck with that. You got a teacher that can make it as a Math major, I am going to offer them more money than they dreamed of, not to teach.
