Yeah, because all the Asians in my school growzing up really had a hard time in class and weren't on top. I blame it on no Asian teachers.
I blame it on the white teachers' judgment of (South) Asians based on the color of their skin . . . oh, wait

And yet 95% of Teach America teachers are white, Tier-1 college grads at "underprivileged" schools.

Yep, just like most of the full-time teachers at many inner-city schools

Google the certification process, but the gist is, it's different for Teach For America than it is for real teachers

The education "certification" thing is a racket and keeps normal folks with good degrees away.

It's also a different hiring process for many "underpriveleged" public schools. Many may be "certified" but not college educated.

100%
teaching certification/licensing is one of the more absurd processes i've looked at
real estate is the worst i think, though

Your OP is pathetically oversimplified.

The fact they want regular grade school teachers to have advanced teaching degrees is nuts.

i never understood that. not one bit
even if one wants to argue some sort of psychology necessary to educate young minds, that's already built into the curriculum they're given

It rewards people in education majors and penalizes people who could actually teach math, history, science, etc.
Posted on 1/15/17 at 3:55 pm to NIH
well at least teachers who are certified get 100% of their salaries, unlike those in real estate
Posted on 1/15/17 at 3:56 pm to SlowFlowPro
. . . and 3+ months off of work

I don't know, dude.
My typing teacher was scary as f so I damn well paid attention!

i'm just talking about the worst licensing rackets
having a license to sell real estate is pretty stupid, but once you get licensed you can't even work for yourself for like 2-3 years (and you have to get a different license to become a broker). you have to work for a broker and give them like 1/3 of your commissions only b/c it's a requirement of law

I thought about teaching prior to committing to my current path and the certification programs pretty much deterred me. One of the only ways to maneuver around them is to do a TFA esque program and I read too many Reddit horror stories to do that.

Do you have anything substantive to add to this thread, Dev Patel, or are you going to perpetuate the stereotypes?

after my issue i had last yer lawyer-wise i thought about being a teacher for a few years and when i looked at what it would take i was blown the frick away. i have a fake doctorate in a social science and i couldn't teach social studies to middle school or high school kids?

While some of the blame for all of this is on pre-existing programs like No Child Left Behind, far more of the issues stem from the Common Core mandate . . . hopefully it will be phased out soon.
