Even Teachers With A Doctorate Degree…..

are not meeting the NCLB rules for highly qualified teacher status.

Jefferds Huyck has a doctorate in classics from Harvard and teaching 22 years in college and high school he would still have to go through a teacher-certification course that would last two year at a cost of 15 grand.

I say teachers like this need a break and just be accepted as a highly qualified teacher in some grandfathered type status sort of way if highly qualified teacher rules are to stay in place. I think those rules need to be junked.
