Yeah, I know. I hate that old saw, too. But dammit, why do we have to have so many people confirming it? The Mrs. reminded me of a time last year when she went to a conference. Another teacher stood and spoke of their "adventures" hiring a third-grade teacher. The school required the applicants (13 of them? Number was implied, not specified) to write an essay and take the 8th-grade end-of-course math test.
None passed.
The school had to reopen the application process.

Um...yeah. Not always--we have some great students who want to become elementary teachers, but there are also some you worry about.
