PS>         The State of Washington is now proposing a teacher testing
PS> process in an attempt to weed out teachers who are underqualified in
PS> term of their own academics.
    When North Carolina adopted such a test for already-teaching teachers, 
the union was very irate.  Many teachers just retired early.
PS>         I was wondering if anyone has already studied the 
PS> effectiveness
PS> of doing this process? Do students learn better with teachers
PS> who have or can complete such a process?  
    Maybe nobody has done a formal statistical study, but a kid cannot learn 
algebra from a teacher who himself doesn't know it!
