It makes me very aggravated when people who are not qualified try to
teach a subject just because there are more jobs in that field or less
people to compete with. I am not saying this is the case with Stacy,
because I do not know what her major was. But it very infuriating to me
and other people who do have backgrounds in science for other people to
be teaching it or trying to teach it. I think it is very important for
people who teach science to have backgrounds in it. Until you have
either worked in the science field or had upper level classes in it, you
do not really understand it. And trust me if you have a science
background those tests are not that bad.
