Actually nope. In most school districts they require the license as part of the application process. And well, I don't have one. I am one test away though. So in the mean time, I have a lot of free time as I can't get a job. So will be scanning and validating books. Which is a lot of fun, but I wish I was earning money and teaching too, smile. We can in extreme circumstances get a "emergency certification" but the state isn't giving them out, besides I need a guarantee from a district to hire me in the state for that to happen, which it isn't. The thing that really frustrates me is the fact that the ETS controls the GRE as well, and I don't really want to have to go through the same stuff to apply for the GRE. Who knows when I would get to take it. Shelley L. Rhodes and Judson, guiding golden juddysbuddy@xxxxxxxxxxxx Guide Dogs For the Blind Inc.
