<p>^I write and edit for the newspaper, and we generally do articles on various teachers. After trawling the newspaper archives for information, I have managed to discover where just about every teacher in my school went for their degrees.</p>
<p>I’m surprised to see how many kids have teachers that went to prestigious schools. Maybe the teachers at my school aren’t good and I just don’t know any better, but almost all the teachers in my school went to our state schools, either the smaller ones or PSU/Pitt. The only teacher that I know of that went to what would be considered prestigious went there to play football. </p>
<p>I’m not sure why someone with those kinds of degrees would choose to teach high school. Do your school districts pay that well? Not that money is my only objective, but if I had a degree from X University, I think I would want to do something a little “better” than teaching high school. And this is from someone who has given serious thought to coming back to be a teacher.</p>

<p>How the hell do you guys have all these Ivy League Ph.D’s? Must be some way too expensive private school that in the end doesn’t get you anywhere a decent public can’t. Whatever, I’m fine with half my school’s teachers being from the U of Minnesota (and the other half usually worse places). We only have 1 Ph.D she’s a band teacher so does that really count? I don’t think so.</p>
<p>^I go to a public, nobody on my list went to an Ivy. :D</p>
<p>Well then I obviously wan’t referring to you.</p>
<p>^People are talking about college professors, not high school teachers.</p>

<p>Weirdly enough, I don’t know where any of my other teachers went to university.</p>
<p>They’re all Auckland, Otago and Canterbury university grads. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go get a world map and look at the place on the right side of Australia :)</p>
<p>But my brother’s school (all boys’ private, oldest school in NZ if you’re interested) has a few Cambridge grads, probably because the school itself is Anglican and in my opinion, tries to be a British boarding school like a mini-Eton. LOL</p>
