yeah it's so weird that a state like Florida can't find enough teachers to work there
Suuuuper weird. I'm willing to bet that they will settle for substandard teachers to fill the void. Teachers who will be okay with not teaching "challenging" topics like equal rights and evolution
Hell, they are already letting people without teaching certificates teach as long as they are veterans.
Are they really?
Throwing in someone potentially suffering from PTSD into a classroom filled with sociopathic teenagers sounds like a great idea.
I mean -- that's the army. :-D
LOL. Fair enough.
Yup. De Santis is giving veterans 5 year temporary teaching certificates even if they have no other qualifications.
Service guarantees citizenship! Would you like to know more?
This is disingenuous. They don't just step off the battlefield into teaching.
You have to be a veteran, spent 2 years at college(no degree), and also pass a 4-hour 'Florida Subject Area Test' with a score of at least 71% in each subject they plan to teach.
Lmao.
I have to assume you are being sarcastic but in case you are not (no /s):
That is not much better. The first couple years of college are pretty basic courses that do not help someone know how to teach. Getting a C- on a test in a subject does not really instill confidence that they know the subject well...and can teach. Just because you know a subject does not mean you know shit about teaching.
It’s not disingenuous if it’s factual. Thanks for confirming the comments truthfulness.
I suspect the comment was sarcastic given the low requirements they offered.
Cool, the "The Mighty Whitey Righty Curriculum."
Lol.
Well, that's part of the equation.
The other part is: Don't treat them like shit.
