<p>UUMMM ever wonder where all of the past and present schooled/colleged students wound be withOUT teachers - where do people think good teachers come from??? From all walks of life and from all levels of education - including state and ivy schools - if someone is destined to be a teacher - let them!!! - help them!!! don’t discourage them. It is a personal decision on which college they attend and the financial situation they are in - if one can afford an ivy - so be it - they can be just as good a teacher as a state college educated teacher. How many of you have actually asked your kids teachers where they got their education??? Ya - I know many times it is posted in some book somewhere - but does that really make such a difference???</p>
<p>Making the decision financially regarding which school to attend and the possibilities of becoming a teacher - well - compare that to any other profession - you will find the same arguments. The cost of the education does not the education or teacher make - it is the education itself - which can be achieved at good teacher prep college program - it is the individual themselves who make the decision of what kind of teacher they will be - because in most parts of this country it won’t matter where the went to school as long as they have taken the right path to achieve a position in a REAL JOB as a teacher.</p>
