[LM_NET] OT: Canadian vs American teaching credentials

[Jennie <jennieteacher@GMAIL.COM>]

We have an ongoing debate about teacher credentialing for our contract
negotiations.

   - Canadians get a "Bachelor's of Education" (after 4 years degree in
   whatever) in order to teach.
   - Americans can get a "Master's of Teaching" or a "Master's of Arts in
   Education" in order to teach.

Is this correct?

The Canadians feel that the shorter teaching Masters credential is equal to
the "Bachelors of Education", but they don't get on the "Masters" salary
scale.
