Education schools aren’t trying to draw high achievers to teaching, complains the National Council on Teacher Quality’s PDQ blog. Admissions requirements are low and assignments are undemanding. (See page 162 to 164.)
Tweets on #edmajor show education majors bragging about how easy their classes are.
By contrast, students on #mathmajor, #sciencemajor and #nursingmajor frequently tweet about how hard they work and how much they enjoy solving difficult problems.
