research question

[estepheia]

Hi guys, yes, it's me! Not an imposter, no!
I got bit by a plot bunny. I eyed it warily, and I'm not sure if I'll give it a shot, given my apalling habit of neverending my stories, but I ended up asking myself the following question:
What are the academic requirements for becoming a high school teacher in the US? How long does it take to get the qualifications, say as a sports teacher? Or swim coach?
Help would be greatly appreciated. :-)

Wow, that was fast. Thank you. This helps a lot!
Now all you have to do is keep your fingers crossed, because tomorrow is my day off, and if the muse (the other one, not you) is willing, I will try to squeeze the bunny into a ficlet... :-)

Good luck!

Heee. Pom-poms? For me? :-)
Thank you.

Just to add on to what flaming_muse was saying about coaches being full time teachers who coach as an extra. The subject the coach is teaching could be anything, depending on their background. Often they are PE teachers, but not always. When I was in high school, the theatre teacher, who also directed shows, coached football.

Good luck.
