"Education" Degrees = Uneducated Teachers > Disaster

This article quantifies and documents what authentic education experts have known and advanced for years: people who earn "education degrees" do not receive authentic educations themselves, and thus they lack a requisite for teaching any authentic academic subjects. The university "education" currucula, in other words, is garbage. And on top of that, the admissions standards are so low into education programs that they start out with the weakest brains. Four years of student loans later, these graduates have little more four years worth of college parties and non-intellectual development. These are the people that then go teach our kids K-12.

The solution is clear: abolish "education" degrees. Require teachers to hold degrees in genuine classic scholarly subjects. Grade school teachers should have degrees in literature, history, or psychology. Teacher training should constitute post-grad mentoring, plus some seminars. Selection of very simple, back-to-basics course materials, and re institution of do-as-I-say-or-leave discipline, is just about all a truly educated and motivated adult needs in order to lead children through an intellectually productive day. This works for coaches, afterall.

The "education" industry has evolved into a job works program for laggards.
