Would you rather..RE: preschool teachers..

Need some feedback..

Would you rather a college graduate with a degree with your 3-4 year old, who basically has no experience, acts very immature, dresses inappropriately and is obviously lacking people skills...

OR..

Would you rather someone who does not have their degree but has tons of experience, knows how to speak to parents and takes the job extremely seriously.

I am truly looking for honest answers..is the college degree the most important part of it or not so much when it comes to your child.

Re: Would you rather..RE: preschool teachers..

I work in this field, and part of my job is hiring teachers...

The degree is a big deal for us, but I try to hiree candidates that have both. (Luckily my teachers have that)

BUT if it was one or the other- Id choose the experience...

The state does require certain amount of education though..

I would absolutely choose B. A degree doesnt always make a person smart....especially socially smart as you have described "A" is not.

If this was for nursery or daycare for a small child I would choose person B. But for preschool I would choose neither and look for someone with a degree and experience so I can be confident my child is learning and following a plan as well as being taken care of well.

Re: Would you rather..RE: preschool teachers..

I would choose the 2nd....if it was a first or 2nd grade teacher, then the college degree would be important, but for children that young a nurturing, caring, safe environment is important, as well as someone with good judgment (not that these things aren't important in at any age, but moreso for the little ones)

A degree is never important to me. I have seen some real morons with a degree.

would you really? I would go with no one before I would go with someone immature that doesnt know how to act. I would rather stay home at that point.

I def say B...a degree won't make your child feel safe and secure when your not around.

Definitely the second one. A college degree doesn't necessarily mean skill.

Same in a heartbeat. A college degree does NOT equal intelligence, maturity or tact. Some things you cannot learn from books. Chat Icon
