Cross Off Nevada

as a state which gives a crap about teachers and whether the state gets any good ones, for if this "reform" goes through, advanced degrees won't count towards the salary of teachers.

This despite the fact teachers have to pay--at their own expense--courses to get those degrees and the fact they must take courses in order to renew their licenses.

These reformers feel there are so many out-of-work teachers, these teachers will take any kind of shit and abuse hurled at them.

And then when the supply dries up, the standards will be lowered so that high school graduates will be "teachers."
