[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 3927430, member: 49426"] I see a lot of comments about a lack of good teachers. When I was a kid, we had the some of the toughest teacher qualifications in the nation. The regional university in the town I grew up in had a strong school of education and it was a good job. Today, pay has not kept up with inflation and the schools of education are closing for lack of enrolment. Most people don't want the job. How do you attract good people when the perception is: The pay is not attractive. Funding for classroom supplies is poor. The work environment is tough. The profession is not respected. Rather than address the issues and bring in what any other state in the union considers a qualified candidate, our legislature continues to lower the requirements hoping a warm body will fill the gaps. This trend has been going on for years. I am disturbed by how far it has gone. I am concerned that it will go further. I don't see how watering down the professional requirements addresses the underlying issues. [/QUOTE]
