The certification means nothing IMHO.  While some of the teachers at MCPS are great, I have met many certified teachers who are underwhelming.  The teachers to whom I have been exposed at DS's private are all amazing.  Two are new to the school and both relocated to take the positions.  One was educated at a Jesuit university and wanted to teach at a Jesuit high school.  [b]The other has a Harvard graduate degree and relocated after living overseas for a few years to take this job (he is an alumnus).  Never have I seen such a thing at MCPS...never.[/b]  All of the teachers are believers in the type of education our boys are getting and you can see the passion in their faces.  So happy he is there![/quote]

That is not a question of opinion, it's a question of fact. The fact is that you can't get a job with MCPS unless you're a certified teacher. So obviously the certification does mean something.

If you're happy with your son's teachers, that's great. But it's odd to expect teachers to be uninterested in their salary and benefits.

[b](There are plenty of teachers in MCPS who are MCPS graduates.)[/b][/quote]

I rest my case.  MCPS graduate to me is not an impressive qualification.[/b]

I much prefer that my children's teachers be mission driven as opposed to financially driven.  That is the nature of the vocation of teaching.  The government and unions manage to make it more about career and money.  It's sad really.

Argument: Only in private schools do people choose to teach at the schools they were students at.
Counter-argument: Actually this happens in MCPS too.
Response: That only further proves how bad MCPS is.

Interesting logic.[/quote]
