I can respect them for their ability to control a classroom, to empathize with, and to motivate young children.

I cannot in any meaningful way respect, the breadth, rigor or quality of undergraduate ed-major programs in the US. Graduates of these programs may have respectable knowledge and skills-but that is an exception unique to the individual.

Apparently, the facts are misogynous. Damn, damn facts.

If you're talking about facts, give us a source?
