Education

I don't find either of you "overqualified," though.

In my state, getting the first masters is done while getting the license; then, once hired, if you want to move over on the salary scale, it's 15 graduate credits per column, so by the time you get there you've got another masters+.

And, respectfully, corporate experience is no qualification for classroom experience.

Of course, the education "reform" movement, who wants to run education like a business, might disagree, but then, they aren't educators.

Still, as my current student teacher proves, advanced degrees and a strong foundation in writing detailed lesson plans doesn't transfer into actually teaching students. His university supervisor asked me last week, in despair, "Does he show any improvement at all?"

I had to tell her that yes, he does, but not enough.
