It's a private school.

But, to segue from my own thread, I looked up the requirements for "highly qualified teacher" and they don't seem terribly stringent to me:

Quote
Teachers are NCLB compliant (HQT) when they meet the following criteria:
  • Hold at least a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college/university [/i]
  • Hold the appropriate teaching authorization
  • Demonstrate subject-matter competency in each core academic subject taught
confused

One would thing that this stuff would be the [i]minimum for anyone wanting a teaching job at a school, not a standard for being "highly qualified."

To segue back to your question, by these standards the answer is yes. IMO, she isn't (degree is in a non-technical subject).
