[quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher who majored in a STEM subject and came to teaching later. I wouldn’t blame the teachers. I have had to take a bunch of graduate education classes and yes, they are not very useful and much easier than my college STEM and humanities classes. I blame the way education is set up in the US. Education departments at Universities are mostly lame and trying to keep themselves in business by rallying for onerous certification requirements for teachers. And university education professors are always touting the next big thing that will transform education and districts lap it up because they are under so much pressure to close the achievement gap. Education in this country is way too political. Instead teachers should be paid more and one of the requirements should be to major in a subject that you want to teach. Followed by a 1 year education masters. [/quote]
