Someone mentioned within a response an idea that I think has merit. I
wonder if anyon else agrees. I'd like to modify it slightly and be a
little more specific:
Why not starting in the 4th (or maybe even the third) grade, don't we
certify elementary teachers into two "subject areas"? They could either be
math/science teachers or English/Social science teachers. Aren't third or
fourth graders ready to have two teachers. (I don't think first or second
graders, in general, are.)
Not much we can do about it, but does anyone else think this idea has any
merit?
