Well, Mike sent all of his stuff to the state of Virginia today to get his license renewed. Pray for two things: 1. That they approve all the work so that he has the right amount of credits/points to get his licensed renewed. 2. That the department of education in Virginia processes his paperwork quickly so that his license arrives before we leave!
We are both a bit cynical when it comes to the department of education. Each state makes you jump through their own hoops, they are so gosh darn picky, and ridiculously expensive! Mike has had his fair share of ups and downs with the depart. of ed. in MN when he first tried to get a MN license. He sent in all of his paperwork and although they knew that his praxis tests were different so that they wouldn't be able to grant him a 5-year MN license, they didn't tell him until he pressed them. Their response was that they were not at liberty to tell him such things. They couldn't tell him that the praxis tests in the state of MN are different than in the state of VA and that he needed to take another test? I just don't see how that is "classified" information. Puh-leeeease!
So we're hoping and praying that the department of ed. in VA is not as much of a stickler as MN, and that everything goes through without a hitch.
Give me a break, MN Dept. of Ed. I will pray all goes through! You have both jumped through lots of hoops!
