Nick Clegg says that teachers must first be qualified, but he and other people who think the same way are wrong just because they are misunderstanding the nature of the profession.
It's right to say that we have to study a career to be a professional, but I think that not everyone is ready to be a teacher, or are not born to be. There's something more to take that responsibility. To be a teacher we need passion, vocation, patience, and love for the children, and that it's something that we don't learn at university.
In the news the teachers and the parents are compared as an equal job, but parenting is more important because being a parent is something that it's learn with time and experience and you don't need a course to know how to be a good father or mother, but being a teacher requires some studies and practice, and all this experience is the way the great teachers are forged.
Also, it's important to remind us that teachers are constantly learning from their students and from other teachers, but to practice our profession we need a paperboard to certify that, we want it or not, that's the way out of university.
