Well, for the record, Princeton does in fact have a program for teacher preparation. And they report a 100% pass rate for licensing exams. I did not go through that program. Instead, I went through the alternate route to certification. When I did it, the minimum required GPA was 2.5. About 10 years ago, they raised that minimum to 2.75 -- and as an individual pioneer in grade deflation, I admit that I am not sure I would have cleared that mark. But I do manage to function in my job and I think I could even function in Yardley. Just saying.On Oct 19, 2013, at 11:45 AM, John Denker wrote:of teaching in Yardley.

In other words, half of the students graduating from Princeton
are officially considered too stupid to teach in Yardley, PA --
15 miles away. This is beyond bizarre.
