[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a teacher and taught at both public and private schools. We moved around a lot with my DH's career. I taught in privates when I couldn't get hired in the public schools. The difference in teacher quality is significant. Overall, public school teachers are dramatically more qualified, better trained, and better teachers. Even in the really good privates I worked in, many of the teachers didn't even have teaching degrees.  Some were truly awful. I know people choose private for many reasons.  My kids were in private school for several years.  But you certainly don't choose private school for better quality teachers. [/quote]

Some of us don't have a particularly great opinion of education degrees, so don't consider it to be a measure of quality.

I am a teacher at a public and I totally agree with this.  Every teacher I know who has a degree in education is an idiot.  The best teachers all have degrees in the actual subject they teach (this is HS)[/quote]

I agree with this concept for the HS teachers, but for lower elementary?  A math degree probably won't help much with classroom management in second grade. [/quote]
