I have been teaching for over 25 years and the most important quality that I see in the "great" teachers is passion. We can't test passion. We can't tell how much passion a teacher has for her students and her subject by looking at her GPA. I wholeheartedly agree that we need the Praxis test and a GPA standard, but how many teachers, especially minorities, are we chasing away?
