[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]

That is not true. My undergrad degree was in the subject area that I teach and my masters degree was in education. My masters degree is how I learned how to be a teacher. So it was very necessary. Many middle and high school teachers I know are similar. We didn’t study education in undergrad eirher because we went to small LAC that didn’t offer a bachelors in education or bc we didn’t know at that time that we wanted to be teachers.
