She's apparently too stupid to know that it takes more than "combat experience:"

quote:

The State Board of Education will consider a rule to allow military veterans to obtain a 5-year temporary teaching certificate without a bachelor’s degree, providing the following criteria are met:

Minimum of 48 months of military service with an honorable/medical discharge;

Minimum of 60 college credits with a 2.5 grade point average;

Passing score on a Florida subject area examination;

Employment in a Florida school district, including charter schools; and

Cleared background screening. 



And she's an "educator." This idiot is the problem, not the waiving of the degree requirement for some qualified veterans.

Not at all. I know several veterans who became teachers after their military service. They do a great job teaching and are very good role models for the students.

I'm not sure why his running mate is making a big deal about it. A teaching degree is right above someone that majored in Art or Sociology.

Just having any bachelor’s degree is already a very low bar.

Especially in some fields. Like elementary education.


At least middle school and high school teachers are required to have a degree in an actual subject (history, math, etc) and teaching certificate.

My wife is a teacher here in FL, and yes, that’s certainly true. It’s also just sort of the nature of the beast at the moment as there has been a significant population boom in-state and they are trying to keep their heads above water.

Is it limited to veterans? If you have a clean record and can meet all of those other requirements, why not civilians without education degrees.

Good grief = there is probably no better one credential to have than that of honorably discharged military veteran.

I'd put that above ANY single university 'degree' - especially one in merely 'education.'

When I started my 3rd profession (teaching math) after moving back to my hometown in Leesville in 2000, I my LSU electrical engineering degree was not enough to get to do anything more than substitute teach. I took something they called a PRAXIS test to get an 'emergency' certificate that allowed me to teach Algebra/trigonometry. Had to take a few other pedagogy courses before I could get an actual teaching certificate.

I actually enrolled to get a Master's Degree so I could qualify to teach the 'advanced classes' but after a couple of weeks of that mess, I could just not continue. I decided I'd just be a distraction in the class by continuing to question the crap that was going on.

Of my 3 professions, I loved teaching math more than any other - even though I worked harder and made less than any of the other two. I really enjoyed teaching math = back to the simple basics. I was aghast at all the 'memory aid' bullshite they taught the kids these days to do simple tasks. Anyone know about FOIL?

She’s awful. Her voice is annoying too.
