$22,300 and 13 days to go. Donations have slowed down. Can we at least get it to $35,000 by the end?

My only involvement in this is bumping up this thread. I couldn't donate much, so I thought I'd donate my time instead.

So, what I've taken from this so far is that, as K-12 certified teacher, but basically an elementary generalist (albeit, up to grade 7), there is no way to become a math teacher up to grade 8 (covering middle school where I qualified), without having a math degree. Also, no amount of extra credits (lets say 30 additional credits) in relevant math courses is going to make me appealing to a recruiter as a math teacher (up to grade 8).

That's a toughy. I'm going to teach math and science next year anyway, because, 1. I have been requested to do so, 2. that's what I enjoy, and 3. I think I'm pretty good at it (yes, I realize this is my opinion only).

How would it affect me when applying for elementary positions in the future?

Marieh, you are going to get a lot more responses if you start your own thread.
