It differes from state to state. In Pennsylvania, once degreed and certified, the teachers has to comply with Act 48.

Essentially, Act 48 requires that teachers continue with course work at a set amount for the duration of their professional career. In reality, it has done little more than ensure work for the post-graduate educators, as teachers are required to pursue course work that amounts to an endless succession of masters degrees. Like NCLB, it is something that pleases the politicians but does little to further the quality of education.

Do that for two or three weeks straight because your driven by a self imposed deadline and community expectations. Painful leg cramps? Check. Sleep deprivation? Check. Increased stress in my life? Check. Second unpaid job? Check. Believe me, it is VERY easy for me to stay out of modding. Ego (or lack thereof ) has little to do with it. Besides that, People can make their own mods, if they want to. But why should they when some schumck will do it for them?

I ran down the list of games that I love and came to the conclusion that I would not be willing to do any of that for a single one. You are a more dedicated man than I.
