Post #4: Ability to Teach

In response to the fourth question about qualification that it is not needed to prove much of anything in the realm of education. The first step to teaching someone else is the idea that you yourself hold some knowledge that the other person does not. In regard to young adults, this knowledge is plentiful. There are two forms of this knowledge, the school taught and the life learned. Both are important for a teacher to hand down to children. The Teacher must be qualified not in resume standards but on the basis that she holds knowledge in both of these realms. If a teacher is able to make reason, teach simple math, and keep watch of children, as she will he own, what is wrong with letting her pass knowledge onto the children of tomorrow?
My point is this; it doesn’t matter if the teacher went to Southern Idaho Community College, or Harvard. Can they add? Can they teach others how to add? If the answer is yes, then let them teach. Even if college was never completed the point is these teachers are able to pass knowledge onto children in a thoughtfully reasoned way. Does it matter if you have taken 9 courses in college Calculus? No!
On the macro sense of teaching the kids, life’s simple patterns of math and speech, their accreditation holds no weight. However, to that parent who is looking for the latest and greatest school, the Kindergarten teacher who went to Brown holds weight in their decision. I think the charter schools should be allowing under titled individuals the opportunity to teach. This would show the parents that those who are able to interact (reason) and teach to the highest variation of children should be the teacher who trumps over all others in regard to a strictly general education.
