After reading this article I do not think it should pass. If people who want to become educators can take a summer program and can be a teacher, it is just a quick fix for those schools in need of a teacher. That teacher is now going to learn how to teach for only a summer. So why should someone with a Bachelors in whatever subject and did not take any classes on teaching become a teacher? They have no experience besides the summer when college students have a 4 year degree and can help the students more.
