Improving teacher quality in America’s schools will take much time and hard work. You would have to start from the ground up, training new teachers from scratch based on partially lost knowledge. You would have to raise college admission standards and require four years of academic work in the teacher’s core subject.
Education degrees and teacher licensing, by the way, should be done away with. They are expensive and ineffective.
That’s a good point.
The article says that teachers teach subjects they’re not familiar with and decries education degrees. Are private schools hiring subject matter experts or people with education degrees and licenses? I suspect it’s the latter, which might suggest that those degrees aren’t useless at all.
If that’s true, then maybe you’re more right than the article.
