[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I'd like to see a requirement that teachers score above the 75th percentile in both the verbal and quantitative sections of the GRE before they can be licensed.[/b] You could set a lower percentile for the very lowest grades. Teaching suffers as a profession because it is thought one doesn't have to be very smart to become one--witness the low bar for entering a school of education. The profession has never recovered from the outflow of all the best and brightest women once they were able to join the work force as scientists, doctors, lawyers, and business executives and were no longer limited to just nursing, secretarial work, and teaching.
