[Vision2020] Logos School's Policy of Entrance Discrimination

[J Ford]

So someone knows a subject...just how do you prove they know HOW to teach 
what they know?  What if Dahmer taught a cooking class or a tanning class - 
you want him to be able to?

Certification is just ONE way of making sure you have the best teaching at 
their best.

And yes, I do recognize we have some slipping through the cracks, but still 
a system in place to cut down on those slips is far more agreeable than no 
system at all.

I went through a "church school" until I was in high school - memories of 
the nuns are NOT my most favorite memories.  Having teachers who know how to 
talk and teach students without intimidation or fear being the over-riding 
method is much more preferable in my view.
