So a high-school dropout, who has been a successful carpenter for 20 years, could be hired by a school board to teach an “Industrial Arts” carpentry class. Is that really so terrible? After all, the provision is for dropouts to be able to be hired to teach NON-academic courses. Remember, it is the school board that will have the power to determine if they want to hire a person. This law simply gives the local school board more autonomy and power to do what they think is best. They now are not bound by the artificial restraints of being able to hire only those who have a teaching credential. Now they can hire a qualified person who has real work experience instead of just classroom experience.
In Illinois it is against the law for me to teach what I do all day. That’s better?
The Left is nuts. They wouldn’t recognize liberty even if they were really looking for it.
Ding ding ding ding ding!
I know a man who dropped out of school in the 9th grade. He landed a job as a carpet layer trainee.
Today he knocks out about $185,000.00 per year, run the crews for a large company.
Big deal. It used to be that all you needed was a bachelors degree with a certificate in teaching (10-15 credit hours). Now you need a full degree as a teacher with a major in the subject being taught. (an extra 1-2 years). And, many schools now require a MS-Ed to teach in high school.
