[quote] Public's government regulations include mandatory master's degrees and teachers certifications. Privates have no such requirement. So many, many private school teachers couldn't teach in public.

But let's be candid here: [b]a huge percentage of these masters degrees [/b]^^ are distance learning degrees from online-only &quot;universities&quot;, or the Continuing Education wing of [not at all competitive] State U. And they're completed in &lt; 13 months. Whoop de Do.

Do you have some data to prove that claim? I am a public-school teacher with a Master's Degree from a competitive university. Of the 70-some teachers at my school, the majority also have Master's Degrees. None of their degrees are from distance-learning universities.

NP.  I can't prove it, but every single year we get a "intro" letter from the teacher saying "I'm so and so and I'll be your child's 2nd grade teacher."  Usually they also include "I received my bachelor's in elementary education from X" and my masters from X" and it's almost always "a master's in educational leadership from Towson University" or "master's in educational technology from UMBC" or something along those lines.  Sorry, I'm not impressed.[/quote]
