Ok, you really just supported what I was saying. College education + real world experience is, in my opinion, the makings of better teachers than those who go to college simply to learn to teach children, with no real world experience doing anything like what you have referenced.supraTruth » 18 May 2022, 3:45 am » wrote: ↑ NOT TRUE! I had a GREAT high school English teacher who worked at FORD before becoming a teacher. I worked as a substitute teacher for 3 years after working in construction for 44 years, 36 of those years as a commercial construction estimator & project manager. And like me, many teachers worked their way through college.
