I know, I was a Michigan teacher with a BS, and no plans to go for an MS. While MI teachers are required to take courses on a regular basis, they don't need to be university courses. Also, neither degree makes a good teacher.unmitigated mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13901264130484454602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5491653637192669950.post-79723700358766161652011-01-27T09:54:22.667-08:002011-01-27T09:54:22.667-08:00I feel pretty good about my fine arts degree now. ...I feel pretty good about my fine arts degree now.

Last time I heard the social workers were complaining because they had to spend a hundred thousand dollars getting a masters so they could make $30K a year. And yet a sociology degree will get you power job with the gov't.

Still, not having been in the trenches, he may not be aware of the one thing that would help - treating competent teachers as true professionals by giving them more autonomy in their jobs (and more respect - for heaven's sake, they don't even have cubicles to retreat to for non-classroom work!)Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5491653637192669950.post-27694783447236094682010-12-02T20:45:24.793-08:002010-12-02T20:45:24.793-08:00Just for clarity, one does not need a masters to b...Just for clarity, one does not need a masters to be a teacher, at least in California.<br /><br />Also, one does not need to be a lawyer to be a Supreme Court Justice.
