In many areas, that have similar requirements, teachers teach outside of their subject area on an "emergency" basis. In other states (like in VT) teachers are either elementary certified or secondary certified. There is no requirement for training in the field they teach.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 94% of Georgia teachers are "highly qualified" - but sadly, Georgia students are 50th in the nation in SAT scores.
Odd, huh?
