Sheeprunner12 I support your point of view. My sister and I just had this conversation some weeks ago. We are both university grads with degrees in multiple areas (B.S & M.S.) with an interest in changing careers towards education. However, the red tape and utter nonsense we heard from the Ministry of Education and UB was just frustrating. My sister applied to UB and was accepted in the BS Education program only to be told she will have to start from the beginning (Math 101, etc.) because her degree is 10 years old- mind you her degrees are from accredited universities in the US, but yet the government is willing to take on so many retired teachers (no disrespect to these teachers as many have done a tremendous job) but there have to be other means of getting others in the classroom that are working or willing to work towards getting certified outside of the realm of UB. My goodness with this mentality we will continue to have shortages and retirees in the classroom.
