Ron DeSantis' solution to the teachers he inspired to leave by the thousands: lower the bar.

In a press statement today, he said they prefer real world experience over teachers that went through "some education program."

So a bachelor's degree isn't even required for a teaching certificate if your a veteran or retired first responder.

Another big slap in the faces of teaching professionals,
Say goodbye to thousands more and hello to nationalism indoctrination replacing intellectualism.

...substantially better than the POS woke commie demoshit teachers that left.

Why Florida's plan to recruit veterans as teachers is troubling
The DeSantis administration has shown it has a dark vision for education. Its policy of giving veterans an easy route to teach deserves intense scrutiny.

Florida is struggling to hire teachers, and Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis' regressive influence on the state's education system - affecting signage on the wall to class curriculums - is arguably a prime factor.

But the DeSantis administration declines to look inward to assess why so many teachers have left their jobs. Instead, it's pushing a dubious quick fix: hiring military veterans without degrees to teach.

Florida's Education Department announced last week that it will give veterans five-year temporary certificates while they finish their bachelor's degrees. Vets must pass subject tests and have completed 60 college credits (around two years of a four-year degree program) to obtain the certificate.

Teachers unions across Florida have come out against the policy, saying hiring unqualified teachers would be harmful to students.

And they're right: This is a bad, potentially sinister idea that deserves intense scrutiny. So let's start with a fundamental truth: On its face, a teacher's having served in the military isn't necessarily a bad thing. But what makes the plan especially grim is that DeSantis likely sees the policy as part of his effort to inject nationalistic propaganda into Florida's schools.

In a Twitter video discussing the policy Friday, DeSantis targeted "union bosses" for "insisting teachers get certain credentials." (Oh, my - credentials? How oppressive.)

According to DeSantis, the vets he referred to, despite lacking degrees, have a trait more important than experience.

"Every morning our students recite the Pledge of Allegiance while looking at the star-spangled banner," DeSantis said. "And it's fitting that the teacher in the classroom is somebody who took an oath and put his or her life on the line to preserve, protect and defend our flag and the freedom it represents."

To be frank, that statement makes the plan seem like the beginning of a proto-militaristic takeover of the public education system in Florida.

Classrooms are meant to facilitate the exchange of ideas, and a trusting student-teacher relationship is essential for that to happen. Students should see their teachers as sources of information whom they can engage in healthy dialogue.

DeSantis-backed proposals show he has a darker vision for teaching Florida's youth.

In 2019, DeSantis signed a bill allowing some teachers to carry guns in class. Many Florida teachers criticized the law, claiming it would lead to psychological - possibly even physical - harm to students. On top of that, in the past year we've seen DeSantis back several bills to whitewash school lesson plans that include references to racial, sexual and gender discrimination. And now DeSantis is tasking former military members with teaching Florida's children, claiming their supposed patriotism will make up for their lack of training.

Taken together, these policies threaten to turn classrooms from centers of healthy education into centers of indoctrination.

...at least we won't have the POS woke commie demoshit teachers that were there!

Woke prog commie demoshit teachers with their LGBTQ agenda wont be operating in a DeSantis government...and they know it.

Many "teaching professionals" richly deserve a slap in the face, given the product they produce. Actually, they need to be shown the door. Good. Exactly what we need. That is the education that I received and it has done me well. If you don't like it, move to a place where the education system will convert your kids to morons like yourselves.

Does every classroom get a picture of the Dear Leader?

Yep, in North Korea, which American progs see as a paradise.

It's by design. If teachers were paid well, they might make the students more informed than is deemed appropriate for our system. So public education remains underfunded, and private schools push profits over anything else. The country is truly fooked.

Disagree with that part. There is a reason dems and many teachers send their kids to private schools.

Much like LEOs, teachers are WAY over worked, and they have been burdened with unrealistic expectations and responsibilities, while dealing with less and less resources.

It's sad how the system has continually taken advantage of our teachers.

So now we have the solution to the human resource problem. Awesome. I'm sure vets will line up to learn how to teach, its almost exactly the same as following orders in the military. Those same skills will be a perfect match for public schools and to the untrained eye, it looks pro military after that huge black eye they got vetoing legislation against burn pits.
