I only had one teacher who was any good in science, he taught physics and had a degree in physics.
I agree teachers should have to get a degree in what they want to teach. You want to teach math, get a math degree. You want to teach Chemistry, get a degree in Chemistry. You want to be my guidance counselor perhaps psychology. My guidance counselor was the fucking baseball coach. When I left I told him I thought he was the biggest fucking joke in the world and that I could get better advice from my garbage man. Teachers should be paid more and it should be performance based. Get rid of tenure too. -----Original Message----- From: William Bowen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 10:46 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: I'm gonna back Intelligent Design > Heh...since when have public school science teachers had any training in > science. heh... at least since G-Dub and the No Child Left Behind act... All teachers (with a few exceptions in mostly rural areas) are required to be 1) certified instructors in their coursework and 2) will soon be required to be degreed in their coursework. And FWIW my Algebra and Physics teacher (the same guy) was a double major in Math and Physics (Masters in both) and that was waaaaaaaay back in the mid 80s... -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:191991 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
