What degree classification should a 'good enough' teacher have?

[KittyBigglesworth]

Following on from the interesting discussion about degree classifications and the importance of which university you attended, I would like to know the importance you place upon the same criteria for those teaching your children. I've noticed that, when viewing information about a school, the subject studied may be listed however the degree classification and university attended are often missing. Would you like schools to openly list more detailed degree information for teachers?

Everyone wants their child to do well, so how reassuring is it to know that the teacher got a 1st from Oxford in the subject being taught as opposed to, say, a third from an ex-polytechnic? A stereotypical extreme.

I realise it's communicating the subject in an enthusiastic and interesting way but if they can't get the grade, can your child excel in the subject?

I think there are lots of great teachers out there, there are also loads of shit ones. I personally know one teacher who is basically working all her waking hours on weekdays and some of the weekend, reads all the journals, attends courses, helped out at afterschool clubs from a young age, has a natural affinity with children and chose to work in an inner city school where they could make the most difference.
I also know a teacher who got on the teaching course as a very last resort, has never read a book (other than pulp fiction) for pleasure, actually gets annoyed if they see someone reading a newspaper or watching the news, has no practical knowledge (eg how to make basic meals) or general knowledge (eg very well known sayings and cultural references), has a very low opinion of the children, especially if they come from poor backgrounds, is borderline racist and so on.
They both have 2:2 degrees.

Scaryteacher: I didn't assume anything. However, thanks for the clarification.
