Too Much Time On My Hands...

[badstar]

So...out of curiousity I decided to give Witch School a call and pretend that I was interested in teaching a class. I asked what kind of documentation I would need to submit as far as my experience, credientials, training etc....

...nada. Zip. Zilch. Squat.

foolish at best, but potentially downright dangerous.

Even if there are no requirements are needed for those interested in teaching things like movie revierwing (yes, it's one of the classes on their "wish list"), there are certain things that should not be taught except by those qualified to teach the subject. The other example that I used is herbalism. If you just go messing around with random plants and you don't know what you're doing, you could make someone sick or kill them.

Sounds like a money-making diploma mill to me. Nice approach to find that out, though :)

Well, you could always tackle some books from the ADF suggested reading list (http://www.adf.org/training/resources/reading.html) or Generalist Study Program.

Nothing like reading In Search of the Indo-Europeans (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0500276161/arndraiocfeinadr/) to help you fall asleep fast ;)

(There are many good gems in that book of course, but the linguistic stuff is hard to wade through to get to them sometimes ;)
