-
- It would take that long in Detroit. Michigan is very hard-nosed about
- teaching certificates. They require teaching certificates even for private
- school teachers -- one of only three states with such a requirement (which
- apparently was passed so that private schools would have one more
- regulatory hurdle to jump over -- don't want them showing just how cruddy
- the public schools are, after all!).
-
- If you want to teach math in Texas (lord forbid!), it will take
- approximately 5 months.
-
- Call the personnel department of any major school district in Texas and ask
- about alternative certification. If you don't know the phone #'s, your
- local public library will have phone books (ask for the "fone fiche" for
- Houston, for San Antonio, for Dallas, etc.).
