Stupid gov ideas
The principal of our Junior school cannot officially teach in a classroom after the end of this month. Why? WACOT - the official teacher registration organisation in WA, does not recognise her 33 years of teaching experience, nor her 3 years+2 of training. Apparently she needs a 4 year degree to pass. No 4 year degree no registration, as simple as that. With a desparate shortage of teachers we treat them like this. Little wonder that 4000 other teachers refuse to register as well. Wonder what they will do after the end of the month? The fines for teaching without this certificate are draconian. I believe they have a similar system in Vic, probably the rest of Aus as well.

Similar administrivia here. Florida A&M Uni has/had a sterling reputation for their undergraduate business admin school. Several professors had significant industrial experience. Unfortunately, they didn't have PhD's. The powers that be feared for the school's accreditation, so fired eight of them.

My mother went through the same thing...25+years (at the time) but only a 2 year training (as it was back then). She enrolled at uni, and did it part time by correspondence. That said, the teacher in question could probably enrol, and then get a passing grade using RPL's
