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.

The issue is everyone in America should be educated up to a college degree level in core areas! Yes, absolutely we need more people going into the trades. But that doesn't mean those people shouldn't still have a college level understanding of math, reading, science, physical education, philosophy, health, history, sociology, and soooooo much more! We need to maximize the knowledge of Americans (of all people) if we are going to survive. Also that gives our younger people time to find themselves. In a perfect world you wouldn't fully enter the work force until around 25 years old. Yes that late. Until then people should be exploring, learning, and practicing trades. Not grinding away the moment they are physically able to.
