[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what? Neither can I. It  took me an hour and 44 mins to get to work this morning. And I have significantly more education than most teachers. [/quote]

71% of FCPS teachers hold at least a Masters degree. Many have more than one advanced degree.

I’m curious… what’s your education background? [/quote]

Np. They don't need it. I'm all for paying teachers more, but they should be paid more because it's a hard job, not because they have an unnecessary masters degree.[/quote]

I teach AP. You think my degree in my discipline is unnecessary?[/quote]

A master's degree is unnecessary. And most teachers do not have a master's in the discipline they teach anyway, they have a bs masters in  "liberal arts" or education. My BIL teaches AP and he doesn't have a grad degree in his discipline. He barely has a ba in it. "I teach AP" is not the flex you think it is.[/quote]

Do you have a source for that?  I was an elementary teacher and most of my colleagues had degrees in education as I did, but high school teachers likely have degrees in their discipline, as well.  Pretty sure many have Masters' Degrees.

I am not sure that an anecdotal BIL is enough evidence to support your opinion.[/quote]

Lol. Most high school teachers do not have a master's degree in the subject they teach. They have a bachelor's degree. And some of them have these get-the-extra-pay master's degrees in nothing from online.uni.com. [/quote]
