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?

She's NOT going into the inner city trust me.

You're wrong, people are lining up to teach those kids, but poor management on part of the DCPS and teachers (who also have mouths to feed) not being paid on-time kinda spoils you from wanting to do it.

She pulled this stunt in NYC by "teaching" in Harlem and how long did she last there?

Plus, she can't HANDLE the kids who go to the inner city schools.
