[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that these teachers do not even need degrees in education and do not need to be licensed. [/quote] The biggest thing with non-unionized teachers is they're CHEAPER. To be fair, though, there are many good non-unionized teachers -- I attended one of the top private schools in DC, and I'm not sure any of my teachers had degrees in education. (They generally had degrees in the subject matter -- math, physics, English, etc.) That experience has left me with mixed feelings about the focus on credentials. I understand that a degree in education is an objective measurement that can be used to justify higher pay, but someone can be a strong teacher w/o those credentials, or have all those credentials and still be a weak teacher.
