What I disagreed with was Silver saying a Masters of Education didn't exist and that it was just an undergrad handed out but teachers are given credit it for it being a Master degree.

If you get a 4 years "masters" degree you get credit for 4 years, if you get an undergrad for 4 years and a Masters of Education for another 2 years you get credit for 6.

From my experience the number of teachers, not admin that have a Masters of Education on top of their 4 year undergrad, is not high, although I will admit it does seem to be increasing lately so maybe higher going forward and maybe different in a division like CBE.

As of September 2022, with 10 years of experience, they make $103,111 with a masters of teaching (six years' education). With four years of education at 10 years they make $95,562. Five years of education they make $99,082.

I believe it's the only option at UC to becoming a teacher. Some people used to go to UofL to get their certificate quicker, but I don't really know if that's still the case.

A Masters of teaching is not a Masters degree; it's beneath it in the little academic hierarchy.

Do you, like, get tired of being wrong over and over, or is this just your thing?
