teaching

This idea that you can train someone to teach in six months sounds far fetched to me.
In the first place they are always complaining about teachers already in jobs being under trained after spending years in college trying to get acceptable grades so what makes them think that a six month course will achieve more than full college training.
Having relations and friends in teaching and others qualified who cannot get a posting it appears there are already too many teachers for too few posts so why go down this road at all as each year fully qualified students leave college will little or no chance of starting a career in the profession they have trained long and hard for.
Is this just another plan to shuffle the unemployment figures to suit?
