In my experience, most school systems want people with education degrees for virtually all jobs - including those that have zero teaching requirements.
You can imagine the quality of IT staff you get with that barrier to entry.
That and they typically pay peanuts to anyone that isn’t teaching staff or credentialed administration.
My brother was a robotics engineer who decided to become a teacher and teach engineering and design at the high school level. (He’s the antithesis of “those who can’t do teach”)
He had to get a teaching degree. He said that it was a colossal waste of time having to lower his intellect down.
He told of one class for MS Word. The instructor went through some process that required 5-6 steps to accomplish.
He raised his hand and said “Or, you can hit the Fn and the f11 key ( or some such combination) and accomplish the same thing.
The instructor had no idea.
He said all of his classes were basically like that.
