Don't know what it takes now with the way some kids are but Dad started teaching with an associates degree after he got back from WW II and Korea in the early 50's. Intially taught in a one room school, moved up to teach 6 grade and then started and developed an Industrial Arts program near Lincoln, Illinois.
During that time, he got his bachelors and masters degrees plus additional hours from ISNU (remember that) and then Illinois State University. He retired in the mid 80's and the program only lasted a couple of years before they did away with it (small school). Mom also taught elementary school after we kids were in school and recieved her bachelor's plus hours.
Yep, you probably figured it out - my brother and I had Dad as a teacher for 6 years in Industrial Arts. Drafting, woodworking, brazing, smelting, etc with a little common sense thrown in on the side! Really enjoyed it: but if you got in trouble in school - you really got in trouble at home!
Kinda wish he would have turned to farming as all of my 5 uncles were farmers from the family farms. Don't regret things too much though as they are still going in their late 80's and raised an engineer, pharmacist and registered nurse. Well, I'm not the nurse and don't ask me about presciptons but I do like my old Olivers!
