This is the “Emergency Certified” Teacher Facebook group.

These people possibly have bachelor’s degrees, but in subjects completely unrelated to the subjects they will be teaching.

Common complaints are about the tests being too hard (they aren’t, you can memorize the questions on fucking quizlet).

My first year teaching I was pulled aside and told by my principal, “you actually have a degree in this, you’ll have to step in to help your team” - because the other science teachers were a Physical Education teacher and the schools secretary.

But no f-ggots allowed! Being a drag queen on the weekends disqualifies you to be a school principal now, no matter how good you were at it.

Dear lord....I took that test for multiple subjects in my younger days, including 3 areas I hadn't studied. Passed them all. It wasn't a hard test.

They made the physics and chemistry tests even easier in the past couple years.

When I took the chemistry test - I hadn’t even really studied chemistry. Just two semesters in undergrad, never took organic. Didn’t know what hydrogen bonding was. I just marathoned the Crash Course YouTube series - I hadn’t ever wanted to teach chemistry, but the school decided that they were going to make me teach it and emergency certify me for it. I figured that would mess with my student loan forgiveness incentives, so took the test to be legit.
