The Standards for "Teachers" Will Continue to Fall,

especially when more and more people steer away from education as a major, and desperate "smart" kids take TFA jobs which undercut morale for REAL teachers in public schools.

In an era when the education mantra is that all kids deserve great teachers, some members of Congress want it to be the law of the land that a neophyte teacher who has demonstrated "satisfactory progress" toward full state certification is "highly qualified."

This is all about inferior education for poor students; after all, they are never going to amount to anything anyway, so why waste money with experienced, older teachers?  It's also all about scamming taxpayers by these temp agencies like TFA.
