[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why departmentalization stinks.

It's middle school. Any college-educated professional teacher should be able to teach every core subject (not world language or high school level math) to middle schoolers.

This is an absurd post.

In middle school, teachers should be specialists in the subject they teach.

I don't want my child taught pre-Algebta or Geometry by someone who doesn't have a specific license in mathematics. Errors in mathematical methodology can impact understanding of mathematics globally. I want even middle school- level math taught by a specialist.

I don't want my child taught grammar or writing by someone who doesn't have a specific license in English and who knows the intricacies of English grammar. By middle school, kids need much more specialized writing, literary analysis, and vocabulary instruction than a generalist can provide.

Perhaps middle school science and history can be taught by almost any college-educated individual, but math and English cannot. [/quote]
