Unfortunately, in most states teacher certification is teacher certification...If her district lost a few math teachers, she could well be in front of a math class the next year.

In my experiences, this is not possible. If one has a minor in a subject required, he/she may teach that class; but, I believe, he/she may not teach that course for an extended period without furthering his/her education in that subject area.

OK - but which one of us is going to volunteer our children to be in that teacher's class while she teaches a subject???
