> Excellent time for another debate: Should teachers be required to take exams?

Yes. I think that all knowledge should be kept up to date, not just the stuff in textbooks. Another thing: in the words of Bill Mahr, "Bill Clinton says that we need to hire a million new teachers. I think that we need to fire a million bad ones." Wise words, I think. But we do need quality control-- this is our future.
