You also must DEMAND that the teacher provide at LEAST a 4.0 gpa from their 4-year university. NO WAIVERS NO EXCEPTIONS

That will weed out all of them.

Teachers do have to take a PRAXIS exam, which is quite difficult. I passed the English and History PRAXIS, and I’m hoping they create a Japanese PRAXIS so I can pass that one too.

The problem with teaching is the union. If you teach in the South, you have no union and the district can be flexible with teacher pay, raises, etc. If you teach up north, you are usually way overpaid. They need to kill the EPA, repeal NCLB, and dissolve all unions. They need to also localize all education, because even in a state like Mississippi, delta kids are WAY DIFFERENT than gulf coast kids.
