<p>I agree with TourGuide, which is why the advice about schools with supposedly great teacher training isn't a total waste.</p>
<p>I noticed that some of the schools the OP is looking at offer an education major with NO studnet teaching (if the student so desires that) so those would be good bets. However, as TourGuide said, having dome some teaching, or at least student teaching, would greatly inform one's perspective on policy and theory.</p>
