Regarding the story about “online accreditation” for teachers. They are going to have to lower the standards, or find a lot more ways to certify teachers to keep up with the impending exodus from the profession. I’ve never seen this many teachers, on the job from a year, to 40 years as disgusted as they are now.

I also wonder how these potential “teachers” will get there in front of the classroom practicum? You know student teaching? Who is going to advise them? Anyone know how that is going to work?
