Crist: Pre-K teachers need degrees
by Anna Scott
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist and children's advocates called on lawmakers Tuesday to mandate college degrees-- not an associate's degree as is currently required-- for pre-kindergarten teachers by 2013. Of the 37 states with free pre-kindergarten programs, 22 require teachers to have a four-year degree.
