This is the “Emergency Certified” Teacher Facebook group.

These people possibly have bachelor’s degrees, but in subjects completely unrelated to the subjects they will be teaching.

Common complaints are about the tests being too hard (they aren’t, you can memorize the questions on fucking quizlet).

My first year teaching I was pulled aside and told by my principal, “you actually have a degree in this, you’ll have to step in to help your team” - because the other science teachers were a Physical Education teacher and the schools secretary.

But no f-ggots allowed! Being a drag queen on the weekends disqualifies you to be a school principal now, no matter how good you were at it.

In my twenties, I was a teacher. In my thirties, I said fuck that. System is so fucked.

In my state, there was a state level exam to qualify to become a teacher. I don't know what Oklahoma's is or what it looks like. What I do know is that it was as hard as the written portion of a drivers test.

Some people speedrun it. I had to take it twice because the phasing always gets me confused. But, it wasn't difficult at all, not to the level where I'd complain on Facebook to say it's "difficult". Maybe it's difficult if you were homeschooled and weren't taught a lot of the public school way of thinking.
