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.

Oftentimes, though schools don't have many options because they simply need bodies to supervise the students.

And sadly, this is why schools are being defunded and requirements for teachers are simply "a warm body, but don't be woke".

Red states especially only want baby sitters because they want "education" to occur at church. With the DoE almost completely gutted, this problem is going to get worse and we'll pay the price in about 10 years.
