Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4400557, member: 3834"] No apology needed here! I am a retired elementary teacher who has been ashamed of my degree for my entire career. Your little joke brought back a lot of memories from my time in the College of Education, memories that explain much of the debacle that is our educational system. While I agree that a blanket dismissal of all education degrees is unfair and unwarranted, I’m afraid we are seeing the result of too many Colleges of Education that lack any semblance of rigor and that have allowed themselves to be more about politics and culture wars than reading, ‘riting, and ‘rithmatic! All respect to good teachers and Colleges! I know there are still many of you out there! I like to believe I was one as well, but I must say it sure wasn’t by following the dictates of my District. If you are interested in reading about Colleges of Education (some of them) try The Graves of Academe and/or Ed School Follies! [/QUOTE]
