>Just because you are educated doesn't mean you are a good (pedagogical) educator.

100%. But this also applies to people with degrees in education, teaching certs, and employment at your local school.

How do parents judge the ability of local teachers to be a good (pedagogical) teacher? If they discover a bad teacher, what is their recourse?




Agreed. Titles and credentials do not mean what they used to, in education and a lot of other fields.

Sufficient erosion in the meaning and value of 3rd party teaching credentials then diminishes the relative value of outsourcing the process vs. doing it in-house: literally.
