Yep I’m that Pp. I grew up in Bibb County Georgia . Absolutely awful education and we knew it even then. FCPS , APS teachers have masters degrees and often higher. Teachers in the south? Unlikely not because they’re stupid but because they can’t afford to get one and the pay would never justify it. My 10th grade geography class I still remember to this day one test because one question was about the tallest mountain range in the world. The choices were a) Himalayas or b) Pokémon mountains. POKÉMON MOUNTAINS. So APS parents crying dumpster fire is just so damn tone deaf. They have NO clue. [/quote]

One of the strongest results in education research is that teachers with master's degrees have anywhere from no impact to a negative impact on student performance. Sample meta-analysis here:

This confusion of "Things That Look Good" with "Things That Are Good" is the cause of quite a few problems in the education industry.
