[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone in life is a teacher, just like everyone is a learner. We all teach others. A certified teacher is different. Just like being a registered nurse and saying you are a certified nurse is different from nursing your child or nursing your family back to health. Very few day care centers actually have certified teachers. [/quote]

Your last sentence is incorrect.[/quote]

Really? All the workers in your daycare and all the daycares you know of are certified teachers? To be a certified teacher - "Teachers in all states must have a Bachelor's degree. Many states require appropriate teacher preparation coursework before employment or the completion of a content-based or teaching-based Master's degree within a stated number of years. Additionally, to be permanently certified, many states require that teachers pass exams on pedagogy, general knowledge and knowledge of a content area".

The majority of daycare workers I have come across are not certified teachers yet they are called teachers. [/quote]
