[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter is very unique. Most of the MCPS teachers and people writing the curriculum couldn't pass a computer science class let alone get a degree in it. [b]We need to stop hiring education majors for math.[/b] [/quote]

Which colleges/universities allow students to major solely in education?[/quote]

Almost all?

I'd guess that any college that isn't STEM focused (think MIT) would have one.[/quote]

That link is for a ranking of colleges/universities by how well they teach undergraduates.[/quote]

Well, that was embarrassing.    Here's another list: http://www.collegecrunch.org/rankings/top-20-colleges-for-education-majors/

Most colleges offer an undergraduate education degree from what I can see, and are generally geared towards elementary school/special education.  I think as a general rule middle and high school students should be taught by teachers w/ degrees in the field they're teaching along with some training on how to teach effectively.  I don't have any data on whether or not that's actually occurring; perhaps that's the norm.[/quote]
