Just heard on the radio that soon teachers will be required to pass literacy test before allowed to graduate; call me naive, but I would expect them to have to be literate before they can even start such a course. What is a point letting them do the course if they are not literate?

Not true. It will be a comprehensive overview of all teacher education, with specific concentration on the practice part of courses. The consensus seems to be that graduating teachers are proficient in theory, but some are lacking in skills in the practice areas.

One of my girls is an English literature officer, she is often appalled at the standards some teachers set for themselves and think it's ok..................... and it's not the new graduates.

The same applies to a number of professions !

Yes it can but if you are doing your HSC and advanced maths and english and you cannot understand your teacher it makes learning very difficult, in theory these teachers know the subject but the teaching side of things can be very poor if the children do not understand what you are saying, sometimes it is even worth changing/dropping subjects to get a better chance at this important time.

The problem is from what I hear, they are in the high achievers classes so it limits what can be done.
