yeah i have a ton of respect for teachers. my mom is a teacher as are most of her close friends. i had some great teachers who really did help educate me. and teachers get unfairly blamed for trying to save schools filled with students who will never become educated due to outside factors

but

the education major is kind of a joke and often a fallback. it's like construction management for engineeers

I agree with you slo on this with some colleges. I am a teacher and I went to Southeastern, not because I couldn't get into LSU, but because Southeastern has one of the best education programs in the south and the best in the state of Louisiana. I have had many Principals tell me that they will take a southeastern grad over any other school because SLU's program is grueling. Many students are cut from the program because they cant handle it.

The Joke is the LRCE program that alows anyone with a college degree to take a 15 week course and then become a teacher.

Any teacher who went to school to be a teacher is serious about their job and are 9/10 times a good teacher.

The problem is getting people off the street who failed at their other profession and then thanks being a teacher is easy and then they fail.
