So this one is a little off the beaten path of our blog here but lets give it a go anyway. In order to teach you have to have a teaching certificate. I personally believe it should be easier for professionals who have degrees in subjects to get certificates to teach. I also think it would be nice if you could organize a way that local professionals could teach just one class a day. An engineer could keep his job and teach one AP physics class a day. Or a CPA could still do taxes in a big building downtown and then at lunch teach accounting 101 at a local high school.
Question:
What would you teach at high school?
Love this idea! However, you would probably get some significant push-back from the Teachers' Unions.
ReplyDeletethat would be so cool! It would be so much more interesting to take classes from people who have actually applied the knowledge instead of just learning it.
ReplyDeleteI would teach those kids some respect! with my belt as the professor.
