Question
Hello.  My question is probobly common.  If I get my Master's in history can I teach at a private school (in reality) or do they all want to see the MA in Education like the public schools?  Thanks!

Answer
It really depends on the school and how much they need your skills. But in any case private schools are not under the same legal constraints at public schools but in recent years many private schools have been trying to upgrade their standards approaching that of the public schools.
