[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the advertisements for teachers in the private setting. Look at the requirements.  Most of the time,  there are none. Some don't even require a college degree. [/quote]

clearly you are not so ignorant to believe that the entry requirements/qualifications on a job ad (maybe even one for multiple positions) are the actual job selection criteria, correct? Because private school isn't a quasi-governmental organization which has job categories and grades. They have bare minimum requirements on the vacancy ad and then select the best candidate from there.

Not only am I not ignorant,  I taught in a private school setting where there were no educational credentials or educational background required. The ads were skeletal and there were numerous applicants,  and, yes, many didn't have a college degree. A lot of home day care providers applied  (BTW, they don't even require a high school doplma to do home day care..) A lot of teachers were the mothers of students.

Secondarily,  job openings were known by  community based word of mouth. And 40% did not have college degrees, more than  90 % did not  have any educational credentials whatsoever.

I think you are having trouble  believing this because  it sounds  outrageous,  but, it happens all over the place.  You'd be shocked  at the lack of state oversight,  as well, or what is required to set up a private school. The teachers were fingerprinted- that was  it as far as any oversight. [/quote]

Cool story but that’s not happening at any of the schools being discussed on this board.[/quote]
