    At larger universities (schools with greater than six or seven thousand students) that grant education degrees, I'd like to see on-campus K-12 schools offered free for children of faculty and students.

    I want those classes taught by education professors and their students. I want the children attending the school to have access to most college facilities, such as science facilities.

    I think universities that offered such programs could do so at minimal cost, benefiting their faculty and students, along with helping train teaching students.

      Worth discussing, but there is training they would need to be able to teach younger children.

        True, but I think much of this falls into intensively monitored student teaching.

          I think it is interesting that in the US, to teach in K-12, you have to go to school specifically to learn how to teach. (Whether it works or not is an discussion for another time. LOL)

          For for universities, there is no requirement. Pretty much the only requirement is you have a higher degree in a subject matter. And in many cases, the criteria is how much grant money you are able to get.

          (Side note - I was not aware until recently that the professor who brings in grant money gets to keep a certain % for himself!)

            Years ago, Normal School was the minimum teaching requirement for K-6, at least down here. That's basically two years education and training past the high school level.

            It worked. Don't see why it wouldn't work today.
