Yes Diuretic, I enjoy my one college class of adults very much. They work all day, go to school at night for their degrees, and work very hard. I adore my 7th graders, but have admiration for my adult learners too.

Are you saying that those without a college education are just as able to practice medicine, engineering, teach, etc. as those with a degree?


Nah, your talking about a higher standard in which I am realistic about. I didnt say all college degrees and jobs that require one.

Im saying that I could be a math teacher for grades all the way up to 6th grade without ever needing a college degree, due to the simple fact that I am fully capable of teaching math at this level, yet I cannot afford a college degree. (One example)

Seems a little funny that after being taught math in grades all the way up to 6th, that you have to go to college afterwards to learn it all over again, and for what? money.

Teaching math to 6th graders requires more skills than just knowing math yourself. I would not want you teaching my kids (if I had any young ones) simply because you know math to the 6th grade level or beyond.

Reasonable,

yet what if I were to say to you that I had acceptional social skills, was morale(in the same opinion of your own), and completly trustworthy, on top of having more than sufficient knowledge of the math in which your child is expected to learn?

What would be the problem?

Dont need a degree for any of the following.

Take a look at the course requirements for elementary school teachers with any of the universities and tell me you are knowledgeable in those areas.

I can see two areas already in which you are lacking.

Oh really?

And what am I lacking?
