My son is a High School History teacher. He admitted to me that while his Major in History served him well, a degree in education is worthless.
My best friend and my sister-in-law both graduated from college with teaching degrees MANY years ago.
I asked them both the same question. Did your teaching degree teach you to teach?
They both replied *No*. They told me that you were expected to learn as you go when you started working.
My best friend also told me that getting a regulate degree in math would have been FAR more useful than the classes she had to take for the teaching degree. They were so dumbed-down that it was ridiculous.
a pharmacist I know talked about being in college and while they were in class and taking labs the education majors were partying....nothing like easy classes to get you a nice govt job...
