I think it's great that she wants to teach in a charter school for low income children and I can't imagine how anyone could find something to snark about regarding the situation.
I guess people could say that she's just trying to show what a great egalitarian she is by going into the inner city and teaching the kids of the "little people". But even if that were the case, so what? It's not like people are lined up around the block applying for teaching positions in low income areas.
AGDee: I think different schools have different ways of handling the way teachers are trained. At the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, there is no education degree per se. Rather students major in a subject and also take the necessary courses to enable them to pass the state certification exam. Maybe that's how UT does it?
