I have one friend who was hired as a public high school physics
teacher after obtaining a biology degree from the U. of Illinois. My
understanding is that she had no college physics courses.
At several AAPT meetings I have heard several speakers "Quote" a typical
situation with an interesting connection. "About 19% of HS graduates take
a year of physics during HS"...... "and about 19% of all HS physics
teachers have had AT LEAST one year of university physics......."
This may or may not be true...but even if only19% had MORE than one year
of university physics............ Emergency Certification gets around any
pedagogical reasoning....
