I notice that there a lot of places are starting to require BEds. So do you have any formal teaching quals?

I have a BA in education. But got involved in politics so don't have enough practical papers to get registered.

I have a BA in International Relations with a minor in East Asian Studies...

I have some informal teaching experience, though only with older students and here I teach primary school kids. Aside from both my mother and sister being teachers and effectively being taught by them, I've been a Teaching Assistant in college and also taught some high school art classes for a week here and there. Little kids scare the hell outta me though and that's before I learned what "dong chim" meant.

I'm going to piss some people off with this one, but I'm of the opinion that professors at Universities should have some real-life experience working outside of the University before they are allowed to teach.

Their pay should reflect this in some way -- not sure how, but it should.

The best professors I had were the ones who actually DID something other than be a teacher ever since they got out of school.

I'd rather learn to ride a horse from someone who has ridden a horse -- not someone who spent 6+ years in school learning about how to ride one.
