Wow!  Big, shocking news in Indiana news this morning.  The State Board of Education voted 9-2 yesterday to change teacher's licensing rules to allow any bachelor's degree holder with a 3.0 GPA or higher to teach.

I didn't even realize this was something that was under consideration.  It sounds like it was Tony Bennett's final accomplishment before the new superintendent takes over.

Thoughts?
