What dirty little secret does your profession hide that the consumer should know?

Don't hire so many teachers and administrators who are from the bottom third of their college classes, especially education or business majors.

This is something I'd really like to see addressed. I've got a few education major friends, one of which is an Education/Math double major (he wants to be a high school math teacher). He says that, while he loves his education classes, they're basically high school level difficulty and do not compare at all to the rigor of classes he's taken outside of the major. But many of his classmates still struggle to maintain good grades in those classes, which concerns me. Do we really want students of that low caliber teaching our next generation?
