  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

So apparently you didn't need a lot of education on how to teach.
Math and science teachers are in such short demand that teachers' science and math degrees are considered more important than a teaching degree.

And I was teaching university students, not minors. I've never taught sub-university students.

That is a different situation.
I was trying to trigger horror at undertrained teachers, but somehow it was misinterpreted as an argument for minimal teacher training. What I didn't say was that my training was labled "TA training".
