A blue state DUMBS DOWN its teacher certification process
And you wonder why red states are superior to blue states in education. https://theamericantribune.com/blue-state-now-lets-teachers-get-certified-without-passing-a-basic-reading-mathematics-test/?utm_source=FFTP&utm_medium=facebook
New Jersey recently passed a law removing the requirement that prospective teachers pass an exam covering reading, writing, and mathematics to be certified. Act 1669 decisively cleared the state senate in a 34-2 vote as part of the Garden State’s 2025 budget and was signed into law by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy in June of last year.
State leaders have indicated that lowering standards for those who educate the up and coming generations of Americans is the best way to combat understaffing at schools. According to state Senator Jim Beach (D-NJ), who sponsored the bill, “We need more teachers. This is the best way to get them.” Furthermore, the teachers union, the New Jersey Education Association, was a major proponent of the bill, suggesting the testing requirement was “an unnecessary barrier to entering the profession.”
Throughout the nineties almost every state gave away free education degrees to flood their schools, scare the employees!- and break up the unions. I got two free ed degrees and a teachers certificate.
@Roundandroundwego I enrolled in college in 1995. No one tried to give me an education degree (which most people today laugh at.). I got a business administration degree, but there was no way I was going into business. Still, I'm happy as a sub. The standards are so high for regular teachers here. They work DONALD TRUMP hours, (sometimes 18 hours a day.)
