Did you try a private school? I recall something about private schools being more interested in subject matter expertise than ed-school credentials, but my info may be way out of date.
I did. The one I chose wasn’t the best, although it was the most expensive in town. Caveat Emptor when it comes to private schools!
I found, at this one at least, that they were so money hungry that they just wanted grades passed out so the parents wouldn’t complain. And would donate as well as pay tuition.
They also wanted to be able to take kids into their school from the public sector - which meant they couldn’t be too far ahead of the public schools. I think most private schools fit this scenario. Sadly, this school was way behind the public schools! With parents paying about $13,000 a year in tuition!
