How good were you at your profession when you got your bachelor's?
How good were your "average" classmates?
I can teach my (hypothetical) child better than the "average" teaching-degree graduate. You're selling yourself short if you don't think you can, too, with a focused effort.
My friend group is like 20ish elementary school teachers (US). They are all great people, but they are quite variable in competence. Some are very good, and some can't move beyond the basics in Kindergarten.
What I'm saying is, you're placing way too much faith in the teachers.
Last I heard, in Florida, they were accepting "spouses of active duty military" for teaching positions without further qualification because they're so hard up.

- qup 3y agoWhich adds absolutely no information in this context. Well played.
- thfuran 3y agoDoesn't it? You seem to be suggesting that because a new grad isn't that great at a job, a complete lay person would be able to do it just as well. And anyways, Florida may be a steaming pile of shit, but most teachers in the US have Master's degrees.
