[quote=Anonymous][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]

A lot of adults who have degrees can hardly read, write, and do math. At least make them pass a difficult teacher licensure exam like the Praxis or a Pearson test like the Foundations of Reading used in states like MA and NC. There are people making a lot of money off preparing teachers to pass those tests because they are challenging. If a teacher can’t pass subject tests then they 100% should not be able to teach that subject. At least raise your bar a bit higher…[/quote]

Pennsylvania just said they will lower standards for people to become teachers. This is a horrible idea. We need to raise standards to be qualified to teach. I am a teacher and most of my colleagues are morons. It is so depressing.[/quote]

LOL.  I'm a teacher, too.  Agree about the morons.  Usually if you ask they have a degree from someplace I've never heard of in some deep red state, or worse, from some religious "college."[/quote]
