    A10) OK has other routes (emergency & alternative) due to teacher shortages. As long as Ts are well prepared to teach, I'm for it. #ksedchat
    • JustinBCoffey Dec 19 @ 9:42 PM EST
      Should we require Ts to have a degree from a 4 year? Could there be other routes to certification????? #ksedchat
