It would let people know I was duped into actually paying money for them. Also, the M.Ed. degree is the most useless degree I've ever seen in my life. They could give them away for free in cereal boxes and many people still wouldn't want them! I would be embarassed to have those classes on my college transcript.

There's no reason to go on about the union and relevance and so on and so forth - it's just a ripoff, plain and simple. "mucking about in teacher’s lives", forsooth! Margo,

Can’t you see that this is absurd? There’s no reason to go on about the union and relevance and so on and so forth – it’s just a ripoff, plain and simple.

“mucking about in teacher’s lives”, forsooth!

I think it eliminates the SCUBA classes, but it is still a pretty loose approval committee--and I don't know that "relevant to the job" is a criteria (the unions take a dim view of that much mucking about in teacher's lives), but, I think that it has to have some relevance to "education" and to fit within some kind of personalized plan.

This summer, she's decided to get her SCUBA certification courtesy of the district she works for. I couldn't believe that she didn't have to submit some sort of justification for why the coursework would be relevant to her job. What a ripoff for taxpayers!

I finally had to ask my 9yo homeschooled son to show me how to make one. Hmm...maybe he could teach one of those certification classes. Making those paper snowflakes isn’t easy.

It counts towards the Visual And Performing Arts methods requirement. I took a course on Taiko drumming, paper making, stencil graffiti art, and square dancing at part of my credential program.
