[quote=Anonymous][quote]Most teachers at independent schools do not have teaching licenses or certificates. Yet, many of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the country (not all, but many), choose to pay big bucks for their students to go to private schools to be taught by these "untrained" teachers. Students from these schools are routinely accepted into top universities. Why do you think that is so? [b]Perhaps the teaching license is less important thank you think? [/b][/quote]

If the school is full of students that have had to apply to get in, and can be expelled for not cutting it behaviorally or academically, those students are naturally easier to reach. But a public school teacher must reach every student, including those who struggle academically or have little support at home. These types of students are rarely in a private school. (And some parents are willing to pay the big bucks simply to ensure that their snowflake isn't in classes with these kinds of kids).

It takes more training to help struggling/reluctant students, which is a big reason why public school teachers have that training, and why they're paid better than unlicensed teachers. They deserve it. There is no question that their job is harder.
