text: are there any particular standard grades(apart from english,maths+french)you need to become a primary teacher?   check with your h.s. counselor and possibly a college advisor (if one in your area). talk with a teacher. are there any student teachers in your school system? talk with them.   the grades look good, but it is the understanding of the subject that counts. i wouldn't want my children being taught by someone that got all a's, if the teacher couldn't teach it to my child.
