San Jose Mercury News reports that 1 in 10 Ca. teachers lacks credentials.

No kidding? If you've been paying attention, tha t's because the unions got a stranglehold on the California educational system and made the cost of entry too darned high. There's only so much post-graduate hoop-jumping a teacher will do before deciding that the rewards of teaching kids are not worth the bureaucratic hogwash and low pay.

I'll bet many of these teachers are certified in other, higher ranked states.

Any hot startups looking for a good coder outside of California, preferably in a mountain state somewhere? There are parts of this culture I like, but being subject to the whims and capricion of such a badly mismanaged government is beginning to wear.
