[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It really doesn’t matter which state college a teacher went to or how much math or science they studied there. [/b]What matters is whether students are only doing the basics at grade level or if they’re ready to take on advanced work. At Carson, teachers see students who are eager for that next step—whether it’s Olympiads, robotics, MathCounts, and more. Franklin, on the other hand, leans more toward the fine arts, with a focus on music, theater, and similar areas. FCPS acknowledges this difference, check their individual school characterization.

It sort of does. We’ve have Radford teachers vs JMU/UVA teachers and there’s a huge difference.[/quote]

Knowing the subject does not make someone an effective educator.[/quote] but not knowing the subject absolutely makes you an ineffective educator. This is disproportionately likely from a school where the median SAT is 1051 than from a school where the median SAT is over 1450.

While it's true that an Ivy league education won't automatically make your a good teacher, neither will a Radford education so I'm not sure what you point is with that.[/quote]
