>Your elementary teacher may not be a math major In general they won't be, and I wouldn't expect them to be. The subject matter of these classes is usually much simpler than freshman calculus. It's not math per se that I care about here. If, for example, these future elementary teachers disliked reading and displayed the same attitude towards being asked to write critically about a novel, then I would consider that equally disqualifying.
