Kids deserve better than Woketards with education degrees from Bill Ayers blessed colleges....
Other actual teachers not corrupted by Cultural Marxism should still be employable, though.
Teaching is an inherent ability. Not everybody has it and it cannot really be learned.
If they can show competence in their material and can teach it, I don’t care about the degree.
You don’t need a degree in teaching to teach kids about the gay life style, choosing your own gender, diversity, inclusion or why America sucks.
Teachers need a degree in the subject matter they teach, not an education degree.
Oh no, how unfair is that? Now all those gender/race/hate/grievance Studies majors may be undercut by all the students who are failing high school. How soon before the gov begins importing foreign teachers, which would probably be a bad idea...not because it hurts wages, but because so many foreign countries have actual academic standards for their students,
I think its wonderful
Education degrees are negative value added. A smart 19 year-old is likely to do a better job than your typical “highly trained education professionals”, who are overpaid for what they do and produce and GENERALLY deserve NO respect. Hell, there are data showing that the children of homeschooling parents without college degrees score far higher on average than government school students who have had the “benefit” of all those teachers with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education.
There's no reason that someone with only a high school diploma (assuming it's merited and not a participation trophy) cannot teach grade school kids.
Considering what college “education” departments are churning out these days, I have no problem with this. What drives the education cartel nuts is that homeschool parents, often lacking the “proper” degrees, are putting the public schools to shame.
I did Awana at my church for 15 years. Almost without exception, the homeschooled kids were ahead of their public school peers when it came to memorization, basic knowledge and work ethic. I frequently was amazed by what homeschoolers knew and what the public school kids DIDN’T know.
Bull. College produces woke idiots with education degrees. Don’t need a degree to know how to teach kids math, art, English, writing; just ask the thousands of homeschool teachers out there.
As far as full time students also teaching kids? Again, bull. A person could teach full time and go to school part time. Or part time and part time. Sure, it will take longer to get that degree, but who cares.
Get over it. College sucks rocks.
Least they won’t have any bad habits.
Honestly this is probably worth looking into. Obviously there should be other benchmarks but just having a piece of paper you practically just buy these days is not a good indicator of someone’s skill. When I was going though college I distinctly remember some of our best engineering teachers were the least “educated” but most experienced. Some of our worst came from the PhD education pipeline. In my junior/senior years these BS and MS engineers were being replaced due to their education level. At some point emphasis on a piece of paper needs to be replaced with an actual quantifier or qualifier for a job.
I don’t have a certified degree. And I could OUT TEST 98% of all Universty graduates in many subjects. My brother in law in California never was CERTIFIED to teach English, but he DID under false pretenses teach, and all of his students scored in the upper 90 percentile. I think they need to pay teachers according to how their students end up at the end of the year in testing. As they say in the Army.THE SOLDIER DIDN’T LEARN BECAUSE THE SARGEANT DIDN’T TEACH HIM. If evaluation testing shows kids get high marks, I have NO problem that the teachers didn’t go to the halls of persion and learn that there are unlimited numbers of genders.
“How soon before the gov begins importing foreign teachers, which would probably be a bad idea...not because it hurts wages, but because so many foreign countries have actual academic standards for their students,”
I believe there are several states that already do that. I saw a documentary about a school district in New Mexico that recruits teachers (college graduates) to teach at their schools.
Probably by the end of this decade, a couple of events will have happened in so called Public Schools.
1. Students will not have to demonstrate any math skills nor English skills including reading and writing to get a diploma.
2. With #1 above there will be zero need for teachers with a college degree. So called learning rooms will be monitored by closed circuit TV and student monitors.
With #1 and #2 above, there will be no need for teachers, their unions and teacher retirement plans.
Get grandma and grandpa teaching!
You didn't just buy it either. The taxpayers through their Communist government bought and paid for it.
Teaching is an inherent ability. Not everybody has it and it cannot really be learned.
It is revealing to consider that nearly everyone can remember a teacher or two or even three who made a positive contribution to his or her life. But usually not too many more than that out of the dozens of teachers we have.
Public schools are NOT all alike. There are many excellent ones.
