Personally, (and this relates to what I noted in the precalculus thread) I think that most teachers for HG+ students ought to have advanced degrees-- or at least have studied the subject intensively that way, and with the intellectual capacity generally found in such programs.

This also relates to Val's recent notes regarding the overall quality of American teachers, on average.

Then again, this does ask those PhD's to be paid only 40-60K annually in most places...

which, come to think of it, isn't so much less than starting tenure-track pay scales at four year institutions. Nevermind, then. LOL.
