#1 Sounds like it is to bring unemployed engineers and scientists into the schools. I think they are afraid of experienced competent new-comers that might actually know something useful to teach the kids.

#2 They are afraid of people who actually know Math and Science. If you have a Science or Engineering Degree all you need is about 12 months of very part time classes in Education to be up to speed.

#4 "Michigan's students deserve to be taught by the best prepared professional Union educators available."

Their statement left out one very obvious and telling word.

#5 Translation: Union thugs don't want logical thinkers breaking into their racket without full indoctrination.

I takes time to brainwash people who tend to be rational.

#7 takes time to brainwash people who tend to be rational.

More like they're concerned the emperor will be shown to have no clothes.

Though in my experience technically-proficient people who enter teaching, either fast-track or full-certification, seldom stick around. They just can't handle the stupidity and BS on a continuing basis. Better to go clerk at Home Depot.

#8 Indiana Jones comes immediately to mind, though he's fiction, real life has a number of real folks with enough real life experience to teach bettr than ANY "Book Larnin" non doer teaching now.

#9 Back in the 50's, my most memorable high school teachers were WWII & Korean War vets, who got their teaching certs under the GI Bill.
