A good Bachelor’s degree in humanities or social science should be enough! STEM graduates usually won’t want to serve as K-12 teachers anyway!
None of those skills is needed for grooming, and programming as dem voters.
Expect an even more massive stampede of intelligent, educated, wealthy, freedom loving people into the Literate States from the Illiterate States.
The future of the Literate States is brilliant.
For the Illiterate States, it could not look worse.
This site needs the capability to go back and edit unintended gaffes & typos. Particularly for people like me. Again, but now not writing in Monty Pythonese!
There are three main problems are:
1. Teacher\educrat unionization - introduces union militancy attitudes,
2. Requirement of Ed degrees or educrat oversight to teach,
3. Education colleges\departments at colleges\universities introduce “radicalization”. Also, they teach the arrogant notion that only they understand what education is, what it is not and how you educate!
All three need to be broken up. Breaking them up will be hard. The first nut and easiest to crack is that the Ed degree requirement is licensure to teach.
This is infuriating.
“This type of stuff confirms what Tusk and Ramaswamy have said.”
No it doesn’t. There are still many STEM-educated Americans who have been forced out of STEM occupations by cheap foreign serfs.
(Which is not to say we won’t have a problem down the road if we don’t put a stop to this type of stuff.)
Vivek must feel vindicated.
Actually, it makes it easier to hire foreigners.
Because they don’t want teachers to teach anything useful. Just indoctrinate the maleable minds of youth to the Leftist/Satanist agenda.
Amerca won’t
be great again until we have a 100,000/yr H-1B visa to replace every US born teacher, good or bad.
The law, Act 1669, was passed by Democratic New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy as part of the state’s 2025 budget in June in an effort to address a shortage of teachers.
DEI full speed ahead dumbing down schedule at a faster pace.
Not denying that doesn’t happen!
However, every year as long we continue to allow a content free “participation prize” K12 & through college\university education system . This system will continue to shrink the STEM-capable & STEM pool. Much of this is modern culture driven. To deny this is to deny reality. From STEM education friends, etc. and personal experience with the current demographics and incoming K12 produced pool they are less and less capable every year. This is not from some inherent genetic incapability this just lack interest and drive. That’s all due to culture!
Agreed - but Elon and Vivek say we need foreign workers TODAY, which is not the case.
Imagine these “teachers” grading the students!!
They will be problem teachers for fifty years, because you can’t fire them and hire for competence. You’ll have to buy them out before you can improve the system.
I am NOT a fan of Murphy, teachers unions, or public schools.
But, to be fair, NJ only dropped the testing requirement because it’s desperate for teachers.
Here’s what’s happening:
- NJ has a teacher shortage. From 2014 to 2018, the number of teachers who left far exceeded the number of new certified teachers coming in. (1)
- NJ needs more STEM and bilingual (Spanish and Mandarin Chinese) teachers. So, NJ started hiring foreigners with J-1 visas, like other states do (such as NC, FL, TX, AZ, SC, and NY). (2)
- Meanwhile, the Paterson school system needs 118 more teachers. It has not been able to fill those vacancies. So, Paterson schools decided to help its ‘instructional aides’ and ‘teacher assistants’ become certified teachers. (3)
