Re: Walden University
Posted by MasterTeacher on 1/16/08

    I beg to differ about Walden being a diploma mill. First of all is
    it ACCREDITED by one of the national accreditation boards, and it is
    an acceptable degree when it comes to academia. You do have to check
    with your state about licensure though for particular programs. I
    recently completed my Master's in Reading/Literacy from Walden and it
    not only was accepted by my district but it also increased my salary!
    Sooo..that kind of deflates the "diploma mill' theory!
    The only bad part about it is, is that it does not lead to a reading
    endorsement. So if you are a practicing teacher looking for an
    endorsement, it may or may not lead to one in your state.

    People love to throw around that "diploma mill" phrase when it comes
    to online schools, when in actuality they are completely CLUELESS
    when it comes to the facts!! Do your research(and use your
    intelligence) along with stating confirmed FACTS and not OPINIONS
    when you make a comment! That is what "REAL" teachers do....are you
    sure you didn't receive your undergrad degree from a "diploma
    mill"??? Hmmmm....
