Madness.

No, this isn’t The Bee!
They’re just doing what New York has already done - basic skills tests are RACIST:
“Teachers in New York City successfully sued the city over their failure to pass a basic literacy exam, arguing the disparity in pass rates between Black, Latino and White test-takers proves a bias. A judge found that the test violated the Civil Rights Act, because it did not show a meaningful correlation between a teacher’s performance on the test and their performance in the classroom.”
Got that? Your child’s teacher doesn’t need to have basic literacy - or math skills - to teach YOUR child those very same skills.
D’oh Dude way to go
If we held teachers accountable, half would be fired.
Wait for more Diversity ? LOL
dat b caus of racizm by all da whit folk.
Teachers are no longer capable of teaching basic skills. Sounds to me like they have failed in their jobs. The solution though is NOT to ensure that kids grow more “basic skills ignorant” than they are now by lowering the requirements further!

What could go wrong?
Well, the IEP generation wants to work. Coming to an industry near you.
Remove tests and standards, and, voila! No more racial achievement gap!
I' not so sure. I have a feeling that the Basic Skills Test for teachers has nothing to do with the three 'Rs' and everything to do with DEI.
Something to contemplate....
This is why all Public Employee’s should be mandated to send their children to the public school system or face Felony Prosecution and have the Children put in foster care to receive a proper public school education.
Because they can’t pass it
Yep, DEI trumps merit and even basic competency.
An example of saying it without saying it.
The Party of Chaos will get right on this.
