[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 58989, member: 59"] Kathy, I agree with you and while I'm actually glad she changed majors because I think her prospects of getting a job that she will be happy in are much better, this whole thing got me thinking about how crazy it is they don't require all teachers to be certified. You're correct I wouldn't know if my child were being taught by an uncertified teacher or not. I guess if I was a teacher though it would bother me that I was working side-by-side with others who did not have to go thru the same training. And it does seem that we are willing to sacrifice those students in a charter school. We even require preschool teachers to now be certified up here. I'm not sure the recruiting process is all that widespread or well known. Not once did my easy child hear from anyone other than her profs and the head of the education dept, all of whom discouraged them from being teachers. Maybe if they invited some of those recruiters into their classrooms they wouldn't have so many drop out. It's also discouraging to hear how they are begging for teachers in the south and up north we have no jobs. Soon our country will be overcrowded down south and the north will be a goasttown. Mickey, we require our charter teachers to be certified also. Actually I checked the website that was suggested and there are only some states that don't, all south. I wonder how the education compares between states which require certification and states that don't. Nancy [/QUOTE]
