The main problem is school districts willing to hire uncertified teachers who have not even completed a degree. Stop that and you will tackle a big first step. All the other stuff said on the thread is total BS, I have the #s to back up what I am saying and I see it year after year. it is a massive problem all over the country.

LOL!
Right here is the problem in a neat lil' package.
Yep, it must be that you can only teach if you have those Ed. credits under your belt. Doesn't matter at all whether you actually know the subject you are teaching...what matters is thos Ed. credits.
Sheesh.
With NCLB, virtually no one save a few in higher math and science, art, music and PE, and in languages can be hired to be a teacher anywhere in the country. Anybody who thinks the districts are scooping bums up from under bridges and hiring them as teachers is an idiot.
You want to see the problem folks, you are looking at it with the thinking of this poster.
