Since you posted this again, I thought I would add my comment from before. A good article, and an excellent idea that, unfortunately is based on a fairytale. More money in exchange for relaxed Union rules. The Unions will never accept it.

The whole concept that we are "short teachers" is wrong. We just need to change the Union rules. The Educational requirements should be a four year College degree. OJT will take care of teaching them how to teach, just like any other entry job out of College. You have admitted that the present Teacher's College don't do the job.

That will end the Teacher's Certificates that the Union's use as a barrier to entry and to claim that there are not enough "Qualified Teachers" around. You will find that the the present salaries will attract "Qualified" people.

We use these phony "Certificates" in many minor jobs that really don't require them. Hairdressers and Barbers come to mind. Just an excuse to restrict entry and keep prices up.
