With some modifications. Education classes in college should be as rigorous as engineering and pure science classes. Education colleges must not be places where less motivated students can go to get degreed. Poor thinkers must be weeded out at the collegiate level, hince the rigor of the training. During their last two years of college, potential teachers must train in the field that they will specialize in, with much emphasis placed on the method of teaching minds that information is 100% new to. Too often, even in college classes, people are set up to teach because of the expertise in the field, not because they are good at taking empty minds and filling those minds with expertise.

For teachers in the field, school districts should offer voluntary temination cash plans, with no reprocussions for applying and not being chosen. The plans must be financially enticing enough to get takers. And the plans must be open to everyone, even good teachers. There will be good teachers lost along with teachers that have lost their inspiration to teach, or who never had inspiration.

Pay for good teachers that stay in the system and high caliber teachers entering the profession must be higher than pay for high level government adminstrative staff, cops and firefighters. Good teachers should have pay incentives that encourage they to stay in the classroom as opposed to going into administration to earn more pay.

With high caliber, motivated teachers coming into the system and unmotivated teachers never getting into the system or being removed in a manner that allow them financial dignity, sustained improvement systemwide should happen.
