[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never thought majoring in education was a waste. It’s like other professions. If you aren’t trained properly, you are going to struggle and quit. I student taught for an entire school year in my education program prior to becoming a teacher. Anything less isn’t enough IMO. But it was a financial burden to follow this path. I student taught for free. It was an [b]unpaid[/b] internship. That needs to change. Why would students choose that when they can get paid internships in nearly every other field? [/quote]

That is ridiculous. For an entire year? Was this in FCPS? Is that even legal?[/quote]

My internship was also a year. One semester was two days per week with two days of classes at UMD. The second semester was full time with one required evening class at UMD. We had to pay tuition + an extra fee to participate in the internship. It was part of the 4 year program and took place during the regular semester. Someone in their student teaching year could certainly do a paid internship during their summer break. [/quote]
