And despite being challenged many many times, you are still impotent to offer any verifiable evidence that education majors who become teachers did not earn the grades they were given in college.
All you continue to do is to make pompous personal pontifications based on your own self imposed extremist belief system.
your major fail is that you ignore the real issue
are education majors generally dullards compared to other students at public universities? the answer of course is yes: as to "earning their grades" is a meaningless question because obviously the standard for an A in the teaching departments is far far far lower than what it takes to get an A in other majors. Its like asking if the football players at say Haverford earn their varsity letters-and the answer is yes. The more important question-for the purpose of this analogy-would be-are those who start for Haverford as accomplished as the varsity starters at Ohio State, Stanford, Texas, Florida or even Harvard and Princeton and the answer is obviously no.
and that is the true point. if the average GPA for teachers majors is a 3.8 and those students have the lowest HS grades and test scores we can safely predict two things
1) people from other majors would score much higher if they took the same courses or if the grading standards were the same in their majors
2) education majors would not have a 3.8 major or anywhere near it if they had to take the same course work and meet the same standards as other majors
Again-the Teachers' unions are among the most egregious groups when it comes to a sense of entitlement. I guess it comes from their professors telling them they are A students and then realizing that in the real world they are still the bottom of the barrel as they were in HS or after they got the results from the LSAT or GREs back
