<DIV>Why is there this criticism of certification in education but not in other
professions. I for one would not hire an attorney who failed the bar examination
nor go to a doctor who failed his medical board exam so whyever would I let an
uncertified teacher instruct my child. And the state won't let an unlicensed
electrician or plumber work on construction, with the exception of apprentices
under the guidance of a licensed journeyman.</DIV>
<DIV>While unqualified applicants may occasionally get certified at least the
majority of the certified are in fact qualified. I would contend that none of
the uncertified are qualified because they have not been tested.</DIV>
