You are completely correct about matters of certification.

I apologize if I misrepresented your views. I didn't intend to go on a long rant about teacher qualifications, but being "highly qualified" by NCLB doesn't mean much, and that's where I was going with my first comment.

Looking more carefully, I can see that you were just dealing with the issue of labeling not quality. Sorry.
