Just because someone has a degree does not make them smart.

The "union" does not make the educational standards the school has to meet. The state sets the standards and tells the schools what they will be teaching and to what level as well as how many days in the classroom. The curriculum is not "union" driven, it's state driven.

Not in California, Mav. My next door neighbor spent a couple of years getting her credentials in order even after her BA.

Sandy,

If you are an education major you get the accredidation with the BA. Unless they made a change lately that's what I was told for CA as well. Now if you change majors or switch to teaching after the BA it takes a couple years or three, that's what I did since I already had a BS. By the time I was done I only had 6 credits to go for the MA in Curriculum. So I got them while student teaching.

The state is also the one who sets the teachers standards and evaluates the credentials of the applicants.

My neighbor majored in childhood development.

...that said, I'm quite prepared to defer to your expertise and accept the fact that I'm wrong and I exaggerated.

That's a related but different major. She in Elementary?

Sandman · « **Reply #50 on:** February 03, 2007, 11:26:25 PM »

Yeah... think she's teaching fifth grade right now.

You'll have to be more specific.

Never mind it's a long story. The superintendent is a piece of trash.

It takes more than an allegation to determine that.

BTW what soured you on education? Are you currently in school?

So there was a successful suit against the district. How does this make the superintendant "trash"?

What does it matter what my education level is? I've meet a lot of people with no common sense who have degrees, people that couldn't find their way out of a paper bag.

There is more to it but I can't find any links to them right now.

That's not what I asked you though. I asked you what soured you on education and if you were currently in school.

I've met plenty of "educated idiots" and just plain idiots as well. That's not what I was asking about though.
