I really enjoyed reading this article. It explains both of the bills that have to do with alternative teaching license. It explains it in more detail than the previous article. It also gives both the positive and negative aspects of the alternative teaching license. I agree with this article 100%. It is possible that people who enroll in these alternative teaching programs can teach as effectively as people who have been taught using the original method. However, I agree with this statement, "Lesson plans, grading, dealing with behavioral issues and how to effectively communicate academic knowledge can’t be learned overnight".
