All they have to do is allow people with college degrees in given subjects to teach those subjects ... without having to jump through all the teacher certification hoops. It’s pretty ridiculous that a guy with a PhD in chemistry cant teach in the public schools.

Get rid of the certification requirement, replace it with a degree requirement, and watch the caliber of teachers improve.

It is absurd that somebody qualified to teach college freshmen is alleged to be unqualified to teach high school seniors.

It should be the case that teaching experience in community college qualifies as teaching experience for high-school, at least.

I would also like military NCOs and officers (who spend much of their time teaching complicated tasks and concepts to 18 year old enlisted men) be deemed qualified to teach as well.
