[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re going to teach K-3 I don’t see why a college degree would be needed given the teacher shortage. Any adult who clears a background check, and can read, write grammatically correct sentences, and do some basic math should be able to teach. [/quote]

UMM NO. Literally the opposite. I would rather have a crap teacher for my kids in HS vs K-3. K-3 is where the joy or hate for school starts. They are teaching kids how to read. The cornerstone of everything else. You can teach yourself almost anything now- as long as you have access to internet and books, you can read, and you have reading comprehension skills.

I would love to go into teaching and have a bachelors plus a few graduate courses but the transition is too difficult in MD. There are not simple pathways into classrooms. I even worked as a mentor for HS kids in AmeriCorps. Make teaching more desirable as an occupation and have it be respected versus this crap.

Not everyone can teach high level high school classes.  I can teach my kid to read but I cannot teach them calculus [/quote]
