Increasing the requirements is a start, but it will only work if the material taught in the classes is improved and is learned.

I was recently asked to proof read a speech on grammar and public speaking that had been written by a local highschool teacher. If it had been my student, the grade would not have been passing. I really wanted to ask where they got the credentials to be teaching. My credentials are only in Speech and Drama, but this was an English teacher who could not explain the parts of a sentence!
