Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday announced a program to help U.S. veterans to become teachers in the Sunshine State, explaining that it is fitting to have those “who took an oath and put his or her life on the line to preserve, protect, and defend our flag and the freedom it represents” to teach the next generation.
“We begin the new school year. Florida’s leading the way by bringing some of the best, the brightest, and the bravest among us into our classrooms through a new program that helps military veterans become teachers,” DeSantis announced.
“If you served in the military for at least four years, were honorably discharged, have taken 60 college credits and pass a subject area exam, we want you to be able to teach Florida students,” the conservative governor said, explaining that veterans have a “wealth of knowledge and experience” they can bring to the classroom.

My sixth grade teacher was a WW2 veteran of the British army. No idea how he wound up teaching in Houston.
By the time I reached high school we started getting hippies freshly graduated from college. It changed the atmosphere a lot. Of course we thought it was cool.
Sounds like this is geared to veterans without degrees so it shouldn't be an issue.
Veterans will be hired under the law then unaccountably fired before being tenured.

Good for DeSantis. I’ve thought for a long time that many parents would be far better in the classroom than these indoctrinated activists. Veterans are a great idea - but also, business owners and financial people. And lots of pastors....if schools are going to teach “morals”, then can’t leave out the foundation for the country.
“Good teacher. He really seems to care...
About what? I have no idea.”
Only the Academy grads.....
Are you kidding? These grads will see teaching as beneath them, and the pay is below what they’d be willing to accept.

When I bagged groceries at the commissary (tips only) at age twelve, didn’t take us long to learn captains and above didn’t tip....thought you owed it to them. We would all but fight to avoid bagging their groceries!
I must have been the exception, I always tipped baggers.
The Teachers Unionn in F;lorida is very angry and concerned that people with only a 12th grade education and a 5 years teaching certificate would be able to teach children, She regareds then underqualified, refusing to admit the learning that occure via military service touted by DeSantis.
I love to see Commies squirm and this morning in Florida they were squirming like blistered maggots.

Florida is leading the Nation on how to handle woke, and it is exemplary. I hope every RED STATE FOLLOWS HIS LEAD.
