When we send our children to school to learn, how much education or experience do we expect their teachers to have?
Prospective teachers used to be required to obtain a license in their subject area, but that's not the case anymore.
In October, a bipartisan bill, signed by Gov. DeWine, now flattens the requirements to teach, a move meant to attract more people to the profession.
Proponents say it removes unnecessary burdens, while opponents worry it lowers the bar too far.
Standards vary for teachers in public, private and charter schools.
