A SCIENCE EXPERIMENT
Texas appears all set to allow for alternative teacher certification whereby experts (such as scientists, mathematicians, etc.) can teach withoug going to Ed School. Needless to say, the g-school teachers aren’t happy.
Teacher groups maintain that certification without training in classroom technique will dilute teaching quality and that improving pay and working conditions is a better way to reduce chronic teacher shortages.
Who knows? That’s why they call it an experiment (I learned that in grad school).
