[quote=Anonymous]Goodness, no. I have two masters degrees (one to get my initial license because my undergrad is in my subject, not education, and one to get the pay bump for masters + 30). Neither one taught me squat about being a good teacher. The useful part was student teaching--I wish that was a full year, paid at an IA salary. I have long believed that capping (gen ed) class sizes at 20 would solve 90% of the challenges of teaching. I would have time to reach the needy kids, space to spread them out in the classroom so we could move, the ability to get to know everyone, etc. My workload would be 2/3 what it is now, which would be a reasonable amount of work outside the school day. But that costs money. It's easier to just say teachers are dumb and need more education.[/quote]
