Can I propose a counter amendment to jerseyrules, because I don't think that, for example, a maths or sports teacher should have to write long essays, and vice versa, which I think his amendment would do. Also I think that a person can have all the qualifications in the world, but they don't mean nothing if they can't teach, so I propose a practical aspect to this test.
