What am I doing?

Today we had an academic meeting. The issue was: What to teach Mathematics Education students for their bachelor's degree?

I found this online:

"Why Major in Mathematics Education?

Employment
prospects are excellent for mathematics education degree students. A
critical shortage of math teachers exists throughout the nation,
creating increasing demand for bright new instructors. Graduates of the
mathematics education degree program also have the basic background to
pursue careers in the mathematics industry.

The mathematics
education degree program joins faculty from two top-notch programs.
College of Arts and Sciences mathematics faculty provide mathematics
instruction while College of Education faculty teaches education
classes. Mathematics education degree students also receive appropriate
field experiences teaching in selected west Michigan high schools.

The
Ferris State University mathematics education degree program requires
classes in general education, mathematics major and professional
education. A teaching minor is also required. You cannot have a
mathematics teaching minor with this teaching major. Mathematics
education degree students complete one semester of directed teaching at
the high school level. Upon completion of the Mathematics education
degree program requirements, Mathematics education degree students may
apply for Michigan Secondary Provisional Certification. Candidates are
required to pass state-mandated Subject Matter Exams in selected
teaching major and minors prior to certification recommendation."

Here in Guerrero, it is only one academic group which is in charge of both, the education, and the mathematics parts.

Why is this so?

History.

I won't try to explain it here; suffice it to say, that what we are doing is not the only way to do things.

I have to learn more education material.
