Trenton McCarthy chapter 8 question 6

An interesting concept in this chapter was that certification doesn't matter. This is magnified in publish schooling. Private school teachers for some odd reason after to go through many obstacles to become public school teachers. Does this make sense? No, it does not. Certification doesn't even make a difference when it comes to student performance. An example would be when Los Angeles decided to reduce class sizes and consequently had to to hire a ton of new teachers that weren't certified. The study proves that obviously being a good teacher is beneficial but it also proves that certification doesn't matter because uncertified teachers were able to get just as good performance out of their students. Literally, the only benefit that comes out of regulating the process of become a teacher is that of the teachers already on the inside. It doesn't benefit teachers trying to get in or more importantly, the students. Therefore, the barrier should be eliminated but to every sane thinker's confusion, including mine, states are doing the exact opposite.
