I THINK I KNOW THE ANSWER. DOES THAT GET ME AN “A?” Do Education Programs Dole Out Too Many Easy A’s?

Are teacher-training programs rigorous enough? A new study, completed by a group that has long been critical of the quality of teacher preparation, makes the case that they’re not.

Education students face easier coursework than their peers in other departments, according to the study, and they’re more likely to graduate with honors.

The report—”Easy A’s and What’s Behind Them,” which is to be released Wednesday by the National Council on Teacher Quality—argues that a more-objective curriculum for teaching candidates would better prepare them for careers in the classroom.

Yes, but the point is to prepare them for government funded positions in the Democrats’ public-employee voter farm.
