Of cartels and teachers

Another example of how our teacher certification processes are increasingly out of touch. We're struggling with exactly this sort of situation at JBU with the state telling us that we can't offer our non-traditional teacher education program because we're not following the standard (and I would say outmoded) contact time rules, regardless of whether those rules make any sense in preparing qualified teachers.
