So what? Are you saying lots of technical PhDs
teaching more classes would be a *bad thing* ?
All you will wind up doing is allowing the crappy PhD's to teach without
oversight. Not particularly the result you are looking for.
And what data do you have that no good PhDs would teach?
Personal experience only. The good PhD's have so much going on that
they just don't have the incentive.
Also, the fact that there have been programs to encourage math and
science teachers (normally with school loan debt forgiveness). *Every
single one* fails because the teacher gets paid so much more doing
anything other than teaching that it's worth more to repay the loan than
it is to lose salary by teaching even a single year.
The problem is relative salary. MD's aren't going to suddenly start
teaching biology just because you removed the credential requirement.
