[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll bite, though I'm a little horrified by all the negative comments about teachers and education majors.

I'm a teacher in a "good" public suburban high school. Yes, I was an education major. Double majored in English. I would do it all over again. I had great opportunities to observe/shadow as a freshman in college. Easy student teaching placement. My district paid for a large share of my master's.

I have several friends who teach in private schools. A couple had similar paths to mine. A couple of others tried different careers first, then pivoted into education. There are multiple paths, but please don't demean actual education majors. [/quote]

It is a waste of $$ in terms of getting an actual college education  .And a waste of time. 
Degree, certification, then masters.

But  read today's Wapo article on teacher shortage. This is no longer a viable field.[/quote]

But how can you say this? We will always need teachers. Don't any of you have an ounce of gratitude for the teachers who have supported your brilliant children? [/quote]
