[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Harvard a high % of kids major in CS, which surprises as I thought it hardly matters what you major in if you get in there. But if you’re at a state school, especially a “lower tier” one, the history or English majors are going to be teaching high school. You’d be wise to major in nursing, CS, engineering or accounting at such a school. Nothing wrong with that, but they’re not going to be recruited to IB. [/quote] I'm always confused by comments like this. Someone has to teach high school. Or elementary or middle schools. Who do YOU think should teach in our schools.[/quote] The best and the brightest kids, ideally. But teaching is not what most kids at elite schools or aspiring for elite professions (regardless of how realistic it is) are aiming for. [/quote] It's a shame. In other countries to be a teacher is a really respected profession. It's one of the most important ones for our society.[/quote]
