Should teachers have reasonable English and Maths skills?

I'm surprised at all the furor. Surely we need to have the best teachers to get the best out of our future generation? We need to be able to give our kids the chance to get on and compete with the world and to do that we need the best teachers.
Mind you, gym teachers will be b*ggered !
Oh, and we need to give the teachers back the classrooms with protection and respect.

I was listening this morning to a radio phone in on this very subject, and a young teacher who was obviously quite knowledgeable in teaching skills so much so that she was sitting her Masters, was very concerned about these tests.
And although she was up to standard in English and Maths and she was only going to teach infants, her only weakness was in making quick mental calculations in a given very short time.
She said she had sat one of these tests on-line and although she passed on the normal questions, she unfortunately failed to carry out a mental calculation in the given time of a few seconds.
And since I believe they are only given two chances to take these test, is it fair that it could ruin her whole career just because of this?
