Do our teacher training colleges and universities do a good job of training teachers?

“The education our teachers receive today is determined more by ideology and personal predilection than the needs of our children.”
Arthur Levine – former president of Teacher’s College- Columbia University

“Because of our educational romanticism, many young students still struggle to decode print- A MORAL AND EDUCATIONAL SCANDAL.
Teacher training is more like theological seminaries than training institutes such as nursing or medical school."
