This weekend I talked to a principal for a middle school in Winston Salem. When she found out that I was an elementary edu. major, she said that I should check with my advisors on the new "No child left behind" policy that will be started between ,04, 05. Basically, she said that they are going to require elementary teachers to have an additional 30 credit hrs in one specific area, or they will not be able to teach. First of all-- I'm interested if you guys know what is going on with this. She said that even if we got hired before this started, we would still have to have those 30 hrs or we couldn't continue to teach. Please let me know if you all hear anything about this... How terrible to think we've got yet another YEAR of classes???????
