[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is so disheartening.

Who do you people want teaching your kids?

+1  Just think of how much better our education system would be if we hired teachers who were the cream of the crop.  We still have so much to learn from countries that get this right.[/quote]

In Greek city state, it was their equivalents of our Ph.Ds who taught their young. Socrates taught Plato. Aristotle taught Alexander the Great. [/quote]

Teaching in the US, today, is a mess, and a degree in education means pretty much diddly when it comes to actually functioning in a typical US public school classroom. They learn how to create lessons and motivational boards, but not enough about how to work efficiently, truly differentiate, and deal with too many kids.

A degree in early childhood education is ridiculous, and I wouldn't support it either. It's not academically rigorous, it leads to a single set of low-paying job options, and it prepares you not at all for the job it says it prepares you for. I especially wouldn't support it at an expensive university.[/quote]
