I noticed that some of you said that teaching is your current and/or past professions

Were you required to take the Praxis I and II for grades k-12

Is this test enforced and were you required to get a Masters of Education. I ask because some people make it sound like anybody can just walk up to a school and become a teacher. I really did not think that is how it works or are some places just very lazy with teacher standards.

If anyone can become a teacher, why do we have colleges of education

Most Catholic schools in Louisiana let you teach for three years without any certification.

There are alternative certification programs for those with a degree that isn't a bs in education.

Personally I'd prefer a high school biology or physics teacher to have a bs in that profession and then get certified to teach

Teacher certifications are ridiculous and only discourage real professionals from going into teaching. That's why we have weak minded sorostitutes molding America's youth.

Most school systems require it, but there are those that don't.

It's my guess that you don't know the regular route of an education degree.

It's also my guess that I've heard many education majors bitch about the amount of work they had to for a bs in elementary education it can't be that bad

Now if they want hard courses I'd suggest gross anatomy course that med school students take

I get where you are coming from, but what are the incentives.

I mean, for what it is worth a physics and math program are not exactly the easiest degrees to get. And there are jobs that would pay better than teaching that also hire those people (albeit normally with advanced degrees)

So unless someone really wants to teach, it seems like an entire degree is overkill. It is usually much easier to get a BS in education.

Please respond if you have another perspective.

Personally I'm not advocating whether you should teach or not. I am assuming you may be tempted to do so since you created the topic.

My only perspective is that I would believe that you would be a better subject matter expert than just someone with a bs in education who may have a minor in your field for instance.

So then, why should 'real professionals' want to teach in the first place? Let's assume the certification barrier was removed.

You should do it Volod. We need more male role models in early education.

If Occupational Therapy school doesn't pan out for me I'm considering going through an alternative certification program.

I do feel like it's a profession where more men are needed to teach and to run things. Not a bunch of progressive pansies
