True but, to his point, this probably ain't the right thread for this necessary discussion.
Ugh...everyone knows thread titles are just suggestions. Bunch of rookies around here...

Georgia has had a shortage of STEM educators since the 90s. The state offers enhanced HOPE benefits for teacher candidates that specialize in STEM and work in high need areas.
Athletics aside, I've felt for a long time it's a huge missed opportunity for our premier STEM Institute to have NO education program at all. If you don't want to dilute the value of the degree (VT has this issue) then make it a small cohorted program that is a 5 year direct-to-master's that turns out candidates qualified to teach AP Calculus and AP Sciences. Have a strong research and Doctoral program focused on educational technology and college preparation. Work on preparing Georgia's best and brightest K-12 to be the next generation of in-state students to elevate Tech's rankings.
Rant over.
I have two sons who went to school in chapel Hill NC. My youngest had a GT grad in middle school and a GT grad for physics in high school. I have a cousin that has a CHE degree from GT that now teaches science in Tennessee. Some of our grads pick education rather than industry. They do have to get certified.I've thought this for years. In a state/region that's had problems with math/science scores, it's criminal they don't use what GT offers to help there in some way.
Also agree it's unlikely to happen because ... reasons.

Take more undergraduate classes. You choose when you walk.
Florida as well.Off topic, but do Georgia and Tennessee schools have an advantage with in state walk ons due to Hope scholarships?
Florida has that too?!?!? I am behind on the timesFlorida as well.
I mean you still gotta keep a 3.0 so I don’t think it’s doing gangbusters in the uGA locker roomOff topic, but do Georgia and Tennessee schools have an advantage with in state walk ons due to Hope scholarships?
Florida’s program is called Bright Futures. https://www.floridastudentfinancialaidsg.org/SAPBFMAIN/SAPBFMAINFlorida has that too?!?!? I am behind on the times
Pretty big wave of talent hitting the portal today...guess it's the second post bowl wave before the portal closes.
Hope we get our DC stuff announced soon too so players feel more comfortable committing to us! Either way, we got athletes looking at us. Need to lock them in!
In other news, Buttkicker has 19 points (so far) todayAndrew Nelms, kicker from Pope HS committed.
Thinking it’s probably as PWO.
My family and I flew to KC for the game (big Chiefs fans) and Butker showed up and showed out!In other news, Buttkicker has 19 points (so far) today
I am not telling anyone to take more classes. I am saying they can take more classes if they want to.I mean, speaking as a recent graduate, it’s real easy to tell someone to “take more classes”. But actually taking those classes is another thing entirely. Especially at good ole MaTech
