    You certainly don’t need to prove that you know math to teach math.

    Any bachelors is enough to get you in a classroom. I worked with physical education teachers teaching physical sciences. We didn’t have curriculum (books were more than ten years out of date) so I was teaching my colleagues how the periodic table worked.

    Admittedly, this little order is pretty pointless - teachers are desperate to get out of Oklahoma. I remember driving to work every day seeing a sign I could make about 150% more just driving down to Fort Worth…
