The bill that they are proposing, will make it easier for people to become teachers. And even ease restrictions that are already in place for college grads. I understand by doing this it will be easier to fill the shortages and welcome the idea for more diverse classrooms. But easing the restrictions on college grads? This is what they are going to school for, they are not easing the restrictions in any other areas of study. Why wouldn't you want the college grads teaching your kids to go through all required steps or having those steps be any easier. Most who enter this field want to be prepared. This lies in what we pick up during our education at any given university. And if there is a chance that they could be going easy on us, then what happens when were not prepared?
