[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the PP -- with all due respect, what is a Ph.D in philosophy going to teach in a small, midwestern high school?  I could imagine if he were in an urban, magnet school that there might be classes in logic or, even, political theory but a normal midwestern high school in small town?  Philosophy classes?  I can't imagine budgets have room for that these days.[/quote]

This is 12:50.  Depending on his coursework going back to his undergraduate, he will probably have enough of an academic record in History or English (or Humanities since some private schools combine the two departments) to get an interview for a job.  Many high school History and English teachers have degrees in things other than straight up History and English (American Studies, Political Science, Philosophy, Art History). Schools know that any of these things can be a good foundation for teaching at the high school level and advanced degrees are valued in the private school world in a way that they are not as much in public school teaching.
