[quote=Anonymous]Having taught in the public schools, I was surprised when going through the admissions process with my daughter that most of the teachers, about 70%, did not have teaching certificates. This is a double-edged sword in my opinion. I think in the lower grades, a teaching degree is fairly important. It teaches you how to identify issues with your kids, different teaching strategies, etc. In the upper grades, I think it is helpful, but less important to have a teaching certificate because learning issues have pretty much been identified at that point and subject matter expertise is more important. What I saw in public school (not in the DC area), was a shop teacher teaching biology, even though they did not a science background. Not a frequent occurrence, but when you don't have money, you do the best with what you've got. [/quote]
