Ping!...................
I suspect these sorts of teachers will not be working in the towns where there are no houses under $1.5 million.
Apparently, neither are the politicians that support the new law . . .
Oh this is gonna work out spectacularly. SMH
Next up......in new joisey your surgeon need not have a medical degree.
Yet another reason to homeschool.
Surprised they're not looking at using H-1b visas to import foreign teachers - who can probably read English better than what they're hiring if they no longer need to pass an elementary-level reading, writing and math test.
Isn’t the idea behind a “teacher” someone who passes along a skill they possess?
This is about keeping people from improving their lot, so the liberal elites aren’t threatened in their social position. Keeping people dumb keeps them from getting rich.
I mean, Jersie...
I mean, Jerzy.
Never mind, where's my teaching certificate?
Kids are just the grist for Deep State’s diploma mills.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
I guess you don't need to be literate to teach sexism, racism, and DEI wokeness.
Anyone who wants kids who are literate needs to homeschool them.
Next, they’ll hire illegal immigrants as teachers.....
Truth be told, the majority of New Jersey’s urban high school graduates are functionally illiterate. Basic arithmatic is beyond them. Most are amoral.
There should be no "public" education in a Free Republic.
If states needed more qualified teachers, why not treat certain certifications as equivalent to the teacher cert by default (e.g. CPA, PE license, RN, MD, etc.).
What parents wouldn’t like to have their child taught by a retired CPA or registered nurse? These teachers actually did something for a living.
The mask is off. They are no longer even pretending to promote literacy.
Store Clerk: what can I do for you.
Customer: Just gimme dat.
Clerk: What is a dat.
Customer: U dissing me.
and you know the rest of the story.
“Those who can read, do. Those who can’t read, teach.”
The students aren’t required to pass literacy tests (or any other tests) either. As such, they’ll be perfect actors, journalists, and Democrats.
I checked into this story, and I don’t think it’s a big deal.
For the record, I am NO fan of Murphy or public schools.
But, apparently, some NJ schools have had trouble finding teachers. So, they are turning to the teacher assistants who’ve been working there for years. I guess they want them to teach right now, instead of requiring them to pass a test first.
With the teacher shortage, some schools have been using educational software, instead of teachers. IMHO, educational software is the way to go. The kids would learn at their own pace at a much lower cost.
But, as long as parents continue to believe their kids can’t learn unless they’re sitting in a classroom learning the exact same thing at the same time as 20 other kids, the schools will want teachers.
