It was not a fly by night program that got me into teaching. I

realize how completely unaware people with traditional degrees
are about the programs out there in education that aren't
traditional. I have often worked 12 hour days with children who
have very little home life at all. I enjoyed it - I was hoping
to be considered by the public schools as worthy of interviews
after having proved myself. I am not angry with you or any one
working in public schools. Teachers work hard. I was just
looking for some thoughts from teachers - it sounds like I am
really going to have to sub due to the lack of knowledge and
the anger people have about this type of licensing. Also,
public school teachers be grateful for your union for your
families sakes!
Thanks, Unsure made clear
