Retired teacher this year-- when you have students coming into school in pajamas, flip flops and cell phones in their face--- principals don't do anything because of lawsuits from parents or getting fired by administration. It was a great time to leave after 24 years😮.
The problem is the Democrats really didn’t give a crap about education. If they did they would have more cops in the school so teachers feel safe when you have female teachers who are 5 foot 2 trying to teach 6 foot 220-year-old male students who were talking perverted to themand then nothing really happens. How can a teacher do her job? It is ridiculous. They need to be protected better. We need at least two cops for every school so that when the kids wanna get violent, they know business.
Homeschooling our kids was the best decision I have ever made. My wife and I had some tough times going down to 1 income and then her basically having no money for any entertainment. She said to me the other day she was so happy she didn't have to worry about a COVID shot or worry about getting her hair and nails done to go to work. She wakes up, spends the day with the kids, gets some free time occasionally on the weekends. We spend more time together, and the COVID school shutdowns had ZERO EFFECT on us. It was a blessing. Now we have recovered in our income and our kids are reading 2 or 3 grade levels above where they were. Amazing. Withdraw your consent for this crap and educate your children. If your state doesn't allow it, time to move. What is more important than educating and training your kids?
It works well if you're smart and they're well behaved.....notice my proper use of you're and they're? Eighty percent of people would have typed "works well if your smart and their well behaved". I worry about those people teaching THEIR kids.
I was a Director of a preschool and daycare center in Georgia, a Quality Rated personnel came in to observe and give directions on what to improve. She said the 2 year old class should not be forced to sit and listen to story time. Story time is no more than a 15 minute activity that helps with focusing, listening, language and thinking skills. For the 3-4 year olds she said the teacher could not forbid the amount of kids at a center. In other words if 13 boys wanted to be in a 4x5 space with wooden blocks then that was what was to be done. In other words she left instructions for kids to do as they wished whenever they wished and whatever they wished. As soon as she left i told the teachers to continue as was. Teacher sets order and teaches important skills not allow kids to take charge of the classrooms and have chaos and kids getting hurt bc they are allowed to rule the classrooms.
I'm sure that if we get just a little bit more diversity everything will be fine. Not in thought, strictly diversity of immutable characteristics. Oh but also not white or male, we don't want that kind of diversity.

As a retired teacher, this is beyond stupid. Thank God I never had to put up with this crap as I taught in international schools abroad where the standards are high.
I was a teacher. My mother, and grandmother were too. You can't understand how broken it all is until you teach, and teachers are never asked what would improve their classroom, and school.
First they need to make the classroom safer. It’s absolutely ridiculous when you have 20 year-old male students who are 6 foot two and talking perverted and fresh to teachers who are 5 foot two and nothing ever is done. This is the problem. We need two cops at least in each school for protection of the teachers but also for other students. I was in high school in the 90s and I can tell you I often did not feel safe and things are even worse with the population quadrupling since then in these schools, it is ridiculous. The Dumbo Democrats put all the money into paying the big paychecks and all the money into universities to just get richer but none of them give a crap about the safety of the teachers or students every dayand where are the metal detectors? Cut me a break. It’s ridiculous. They don’t care about the safety of our educational facilities.
I don’t get it. I have a MA in education, a PhD in language acquisition and was born in a Spanish speaking country where I did my BA in English but the department of education of NJ thinks I’m not qualified to teach k12 Spanish. How come??? I could train their teachers!!!
I have had this issue before as well. Also when one of my kids was in middle school, one teacher had a mini fridge slam full of mountain dew INSIDE her classroom! Back when I was in school, if you saw a teacher walk down the hall with a cup of coffee, you thought it was weird, and the teachers break room was always such a mystery, lol. We never got to see the inside of that room. But this teacher had this in the classroom, yet the students can only have water, which would be fine if their extremely overweight, lazy teacher wasn't sitting there drinking one mountain dew after another.
@@user-ji7jw4qr9z It wouldn't be weird for them to be drinking it, it would have been weird for us to see them doing it back when I was a kid. The teachers had a break room, staff room, whatever they called it, and maybe at some point during a day, they'd take a minute and step inside it. To us kids, because we were little, it was like some mystery room, lol. Teachers simply didn't eat and drink snacks or coffee, or soda, throughout the day in front of kids, and I'm explaining the contrast to this teacher with an actual mini fridge full of mountain dew inside the classroom.
When I was a substitute teacher, when I showed up they never ID me, never had to pass a drug test, nothing! The teachers in the schools I worked at were all horrific! I homeschool my kids.
As former teacher, they prioritize the kids feelings. It endemic on every level. Mix that with standardizations, which micromanage the teachers’ lessons. If my kid can’t read i throw a tablet at them and can’t stray from the curriculum. A kid that can’t do multiplication is left to just flounder. Add that to parents not disciplining and teaching entitlement. And this is in Florida. I can only imagine liberal-stan states.

I have a 2 year degree but have been working in education middle schools for 3 years in small groups and one and one - I have subbed and long term subbed - and I just can’t afford to go back to school to get my last two years and feed my kids- I keep being told I would be a great teacher and I make lesson plans- I have done grading- I have worked with sped and English language learners- There is a better way to get more teachers who are already experienced and able to become teachers- look at those already working within the system that just can’t afford the college classes- I help kids learn to read- write-comprehension and then help with math- I work with students who are 2/4 grade levels behind- There is already a big issue with kids not learning- making people teachers who can’t even do the work themselves is just going to make the need for more people like me!
You should check out state and school district programs. I had a friend who went to school for teaching in Virginia but had to return to New Jersey because they paid for her schooling. She had to sign a 5 year commitment to stay and teach in NJ and they paid for her education.
Do they ever even need to do that? I feel like the complete reality that nobody pays in cash anymore, is the reason why they can't do it. When I was a waiter in college during the 1990s, none of the new staff could count change back even then. But they learned.
Public school Kindergarten teacher here. I would homeschool but not really for the reasons you listed. The Basic Skills test is graded differently than most tests. In Illinois they had changed the grading and made it a bit more difficult resulting in potential teachers failing They had to change it back. I knew many well educated teachers that couldn't pass it because of the grading system. This national teacher shortage is causing districts to become desperate though. Yes, the indoctrination is happening in some districts, but more importantly the fact that your child is meant to sit there for long hours and go through with a curriculum that offers little to no hands on, playful learning leaves children uninterested and uninspired in school. I have seen really good districts fall to this method leaving me convinced that they are trying to dumb down our children and take the spark out of learning.
When California instituted CBEST requirement I was in line at testing center with credentialed teachers who were there trying to pass the exam for the third time. If you cant pass the CBEST exam you have no business being in the 8th grade, let alone teaching it.
The CBEST is not that hard. It's basic math and language art skills. If you can't pass it, you need to learn more to be a teacher. A teacher should know the subject they are teaching and basic math/English.
As a teacher in Maxine Waters district the past 14 years…here’s the change I’ve seen in my social science department. Many in my dept are not history majors-their philosophy majors. Meaning-ethnic studies or ethics studies. I’m a social science major-with emphasis on Black History. What does this mean? The philosophy majors have zero clue about bias and historical writing. They will present district test questions that are historically false-for a district mandated history test. If it aligns with the philosophy-it doesn’t have to be historically accurate-in a history class. Me: WTF A basic question zero teachers across America can answer What views were used to justify segregation? If u cannot answer this correctly-how can u teach the civil rights movement?
They did the same thing with law enforcement here in Jersey and it’s a nightmare. This state is so backwards smh our public servants are so coddled and the people who are brick and mortar are suffering
Im from New Jersey, and I'm ashamed of my state for lowering the standards in education. There is a shortage of teacher because they aren't paying teachers enough but it's also our governor fault for not being able to use our budget right.
Average elementary teacher salary in California is $51K & $52 in New Jersey. The average you gave of $81 for Caifornia, included colleges & state universities. Most of the money we pay in taxes to invest in good teachers does not go to the children - it's a slush fund for other political agendas. The money laudering of our funds not going into the elementary teachers to afford a living wage & defunding most of their support tools, why would someone actually consider it as a career? My daughter teacher preschool, they pay her less per hour than a cashier at Walmart & she has to come up with money out of pocket for supplies. It's another reason parents are home schooling - the good teachers cannot afford to be teachers. Filliing in the spots with lower standards does what for who? Who benefits from not paying fair salaries to golden standard elementary teachers?
Dang it NJ. 🤦♂️ I live here. But I don’t want to be much more anymore. Nanny state. Used to have some of the top public education in the country. This is a complete joke and pathetic. And they keep raising property taxes on top of it.
This is absolutely mental. Here in the UK our totally dysfunctional government decided to remove the VAT exemption from private schools, basically meaning if you pay to send your kids to a private school rather than a state school, you'll now pay 20% VAT on top of the school fees. As a result, a lot of parents won't be able to afford the extra cost so will have to remove their kids from private schools and send them to state schools. The problem with this is that state schools are already creaking at the seams, so will struggle to cope with the extra demand. Surely any sensible government would incentivise families to send their kids to private schools, thus reducing the burden on state schools. The Labour government try to justify this move by saying the tax raised will enable them to employ 6,500 new teachers. Two problems with this is that 1) 6,500 new teachers amounts to only 0.2 extra teachers per school and 2) we don't have 6,500 teachers sitting on their hands waiting for new jobs, so it's likely that the qualifying criteria to become a teacher will be reduced, just as in the case highlighted in this video.
I’m a K-8 art teacher in NC. This is unbelievable. I’ve been teaching art since 2010. My students learn art history, fundamentals of art & design and progress to a collegiate level project by the time they are in 7th grade. Some people even in education think art is an optional subject. My goal and my passion is to create a curriculum that is entertaining, educational and practical for real world issues. How can the people making the decisions covered in this segment live with their lack of care and conviction? It is our future and the future of our children on the line. We need more people who are passionate about improving the education system. These people have an attitude that is insidious and cancerous. May the DOGE have the desired effect.
In 1982, my PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL , Columbia HS Maplewood, NJ, had two students who won TWO GOLD MEDALS in the all around and individual competions, in THE WORLD MATH OLYMPIAD. Now we are 34th in the world, just ahead of Turkey! Fitting for the woke NJ teacher’s union! By the way, we finished FOURTH last year with a “Ringer” team, coached by Carnagie Mellon. WE STILL COULD NOT MEDAL😢
We did it in Arizona several years ago. They dropped all requirements to be a teacher, because we had the lowest pay in the country so everybody was quitting.
Agreed 👍🏽 Not I’m not saying they are not good parents but I’ve seen some videos of some who homeschool and oh boy. I can’t imagine the education those kids are getting 🙈
I’m a former teacher, I didn’t quite receive high quality education in public education, I wasn’t the smartest, but let me tell you I was determined and I passed my certification test. Over the years I became a quality teacher, however I was passionate and spent countless hours crafting my skill set. I agree standards shouldn’t be lowered, it’s possible to pass those tests, I was a c student and I passed it. Second, education has to be reformed including universities!!!!! Teachers also need higher quality professional development , many of it is a joke! I gave my 11 years of service. I’m now moving on to investing/entrepreneurship so I can help reform the education system in my community! Money talks lol
@ lmao! No it’s your party underfunding the educations system more than any other g20 country. It’s your “you can’t tell me how to raise my kid” attitude. The DOE made AP classes in public schools. It’s the only reason why high schoolers graduate with college degrees across the country. You have no idea what you’re talking about; a common theme among these scam artist podcasts. “Buy my hat made in China!” Lmao🤡🤡
@ the education system in souther states was HORRIBLE until the DOE made nation wide standards that PUSHED for college level academics when no one gave two shits before. Go read a book
LOLOLOL. 🤡🫵 Trump ain’t gonna do s**t except make our schools for-profit enterprises so his cronies can siphon all of the taxpayer resources into their pockets.
I taught in NJ for over 30 years. Standardized testing is frequently a waste of a lot of money. However reform must develop a valid system to evaluate qualifications for any job .
Its our answer for everything, if you are too stupid for the job we lower the standards! Which is why the USA dropped from 3-4 place internationally to 52......Now thats something to be proud of!
What a crying shame. Everything our previous generations worked their lives away for just being dismantled, destroyed and stomped on by stupid, stupid ideas that don't even get the consideration of why we have standards to begin with.
Just think these are idiots with bachelor degrees too in these union 80k teacher jobs. They need to eliminate the requirement of a bachelor degree, make an age limit to work with kids you should be 25 or older. Pick the class you will specialize in teaching and make it a certification that you test on annually and know inside & out. Teaching k-12 needs to require certification not a useless bachelors degrees from over priced diploma mills…
I remember taking those tests my senior year of college while earning a degree to teach elementary school, and I found the test to be unnecessary. How did you get into and graduate from college if you can't read, write, and do math? I wish the panel would have discussed what these tests cover. I don't mind dropping the tests, but I do agree that standards for teachers should increase, and with that there salary (a whole new can of worms to discuss). Other means exist, beside a test, to see if people are capable of teaching. Unfortunately, those methods take more time and therefor more money. As a side note, I'm homeschooling my kids. Lastly, the biggest influence kids need is there parents. Time for parents to raise their kids and not expect schools to do it. Boom... Second can or worms open.
Where is the teacher's union?! This is insane. I retired from being an elementary ed school teacher at 25 50 years ago because I could NOT get tenure which required teaching in a school for more than 2 years before considered. Once in you cannot be fired.
This is a very strong argument to NOT give education oversight back to the states. Clearly, ALL educational oversight agencies need to be revamped. Obviously, this includes at the federal level. It's insane how little emphasis is put on actual learning. I've been in education my entire career and am devastated by what is happening.
I was born and raised in Canada. After the 2020 situation, my husband and I relocated to a small village in India with our then 3-year-old, Today, our 5.5-year-old is reading 5 -syllable words already. No TV, no screens, organic fresh foods, lots of sunlight and playtime outside. We need to rewind back to the good ol' days.
This is utterly ridiculous! But I am not shocked. I’m originally from NJ and this decay has been going on for years. Small cuts bleeding out til the lifeless body is left. Gov. “Bucktooth” Murphy warned NJ that he wanted to be a mini California. Well you get what you voted for.
Tests don’t prove that teachers know the material that they are going to teach but whether they can pass a test that is pointless. Most of these folks passed their classes and received a bachelor’s degree. The test only holds them from getting a teaching certificate based on a test on material that they haven’t covered in years.

My wife is a teacher and the reason no one wants to be a teacher is because parents expect teachers to raise their kids. They get no respect from the administration and on top of that, most do not get paid for what they do. Special education teachers get paid the same as regular teachers which literally doesn’t make sense.
9:00 This raises another concern about employment quality. Over the next 10-20 years, the overall standard of employees will decline, which will significantly impact our ability to maintain a high-quality workforce. As I prepare to acquire a conglomerate, I’m making strategic efforts to rebuild the standard of work. While I can’t directly influence this trend beyond attracting top talent, it’s clear that the skilled individuals we currently have are incredibly valuable, and their value will only increase over time.
They are lowering the knowledge and competance in people. Probably so they can keep lying.

There is a better way to get more teachers who are already experienced and able to become teachers- look at those already working within the system that just can’t afford the college classes- I help kids learn to read- write-comprehension and then help with math- I work with students who are 2/4 grade levels behind-
There is already a big issue with kids not learning- making people teachers who can’t even do the work themselves is just going to make the need for more people like me!
You should check out state and school district programs. I had a friend who went to school for teaching in Virginia but had to return to New Jersey because they paid for her schooling. She had to sign a 5 year commitment to stay and teach in NJ and they paid for her education.
60 % is a D, how tragic is this for our children.
60% is an F. Traditionally is 65% to pass with a D-.
I owned a small Bistro BAKERY from 2018-2023. Half my high school staff "could not count back change." 😮
Do they ever even need to do that? I feel like the complete reality that nobody pays in cash anymore, is the reason why they can't do it. When I was a waiter in college during the 1990s, none of the new staff could count change back even then. But they learned.
Public school Kindergarten teacher here. I would homeschool but not really for the reasons you listed. The Basic Skills test is graded differently than most tests. In Illinois they had changed the grading and made it a bit more difficult resulting in potential teachers failing They had to change it back. I knew many well educated teachers that couldn't pass it because of the grading system. This national teacher shortage is causing districts to become desperate though. Yes, the indoctrination is happening in some districts, but more importantly the fact that your child is meant to sit there for long hours and go through with a curriculum that offers little to no hands on, playful learning leaves children uninterested and uninspired in school. I have seen really good districts fall to this method leaving me convinced that they are trying to dumb down our children and take the spark out of learning.
Dumb people who can’t read, write or speak properly are very easy to control.
When California instituted CBEST requirement I was in line at testing center with credentialed teachers who were there trying to pass the exam for the third time. If you cant pass the CBEST exam you have no business being in the 8th grade, let alone teaching it.
The CBEST is not that hard. It's basic math and language art skills. If you can't pass it, you need to learn more to be a teacher. A teacher should know the subject they are teaching and basic math/English.
NJ is going Red next time around. You watch.
I hope So. I hope we can leave after we retire.
As a teacher in Maxine Waters district the past 14 years…here’s the change I’ve seen in my social science department. Many in my dept are not history majors-their philosophy majors. Meaning-ethnic studies or ethics studies. I’m a social science major-with emphasis on Black History.
What does this mean? The philosophy majors have zero clue about bias and historical writing. They will present district test questions that are historically false-for a district mandated history test. If it aligns with the philosophy-it doesn’t have to be historically accurate-in a history class.
Me: WTF
A basic question zero teachers across America can answer
What views were used to justify segregation? If u cannot answer this correctly-how can u teach the civil rights movement?

As a teacher, parent and citizen...this is horrific!!! Why require anything of the students then either?!
Reason 1,934 to home school your kids .
Now the level of teaching (in NJ) can be taken up by basically anyone who can pass an online course.
🤦♂️
Im from New Jersey, and I'm ashamed of my state for lowering the standards in education. There is a shortage of teacher because they aren't paying teachers enough but it's also our governor fault for not being able to use our budget right.
There's nothing more obvious than this that the actual goal of public school is not to teach our children.
Average elementary teacher salary in California is $51K & $52 in New Jersey. The average you gave of $81 for Caifornia, included colleges & state universities. Most of the money we pay in taxes to invest in good teachers does not go to the children - it's a slush fund for other political agendas. The money laudering of our funds not going into the elementary teachers to afford a living wage & defunding most of their support tools, why would someone actually consider it as a career? My daughter teacher preschool, they pay her less per hour than a cashier at Walmart & she has to come up with money out of pocket for supplies. It's another reason parents are home schooling - the good teachers cannot afford to be teachers. Filliing in the spots with lower standards does what for who? Who benefits from not paying fair salaries to golden standard elementary teachers?
It dumbs down future generations. Does everything for the government controlling us.
Dang it NJ. 🤦♂️ I live here. But I don’t want to be much more anymore. Nanny state. Used to have some of the top public education in the country. This is a complete joke and pathetic. And they keep raising property taxes on top of it.
Murphy is money laundering
I am in my 15th year teaching in NJ and I love what I do but it’s gotten out of control- u just need a heartbeat and/or faint pulse to teach in NJ
This is absolutely mental.
Here in the UK our totally dysfunctional government decided to remove the VAT exemption from private schools, basically meaning if you pay to send your kids to a private school rather than a state school, you'll now pay 20% VAT on top of the school fees. As a result, a lot of parents won't be able to afford the extra cost so will have to remove their kids from private schools and send them to state schools.
The problem with this is that state schools are already creaking at the seams, so will struggle to cope with the extra demand. Surely any sensible government would incentivise families to send their kids to private schools, thus reducing the burden on state schools.
The Labour government try to justify this move by saying the tax raised will enable them to employ 6,500 new teachers. Two problems with this is that 1) 6,500 new teachers amounts to only 0.2 extra teachers per school and 2) we don't have 6,500 teachers sitting on their hands waiting for new jobs, so it's likely that the qualifying criteria to become a teacher will be reduced, just as in the case highlighted in this video.
We're gonna see a new wave of OF videos filmed in classrooms 😂
I’m a K-8 art teacher in NC. This is unbelievable. I’ve been teaching art since 2010. My students learn art history, fundamentals of art & design and progress to a collegiate level project by the time they are in 7th grade. Some people even in education think art is an optional subject. My goal and my passion is to create a curriculum that is entertaining, educational and practical for real world issues. How can the people making the decisions covered in this segment live with their lack of care and conviction? It is our future and the future of our children on the line. We need more people who are passionate about improving the education system. These people have an attitude that is insidious and cancerous. May the DOGE have the desired effect.
In 1982, my PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL , Columbia HS Maplewood, NJ, had two students who won TWO GOLD MEDALS in the all around and individual competions, in THE WORLD MATH OLYMPIAD. Now we are 34th in the world, just ahead of Turkey! Fitting for the woke NJ teacher’s union! By the way, we finished FOURTH last year with a “Ringer” team, coached by Carnagie Mellon. WE STILL COULD NOT MEDAL😢
That class of ‘82 graduated with a much better education than 90% of college graduates today.
We did it in Arizona several years ago. They dropped all requirements to be a teacher, because we had the lowest pay in the country so everybody was quitting.
No more parallel parking on driving exams. That gives you a good understanding of how your car moves if nothing else
Lol you think these homeschool parents could pass the praxis?😂😂😂
Agreed 👍🏽
Not I’m not saying they are not good parents but I’ve seen some videos of some who homeschool and oh boy. I can’t imagine the education those kids are getting 🙈
I’m a former teacher, I didn’t quite receive high quality education in public education, I wasn’t the smartest, but let me tell you I was determined and I passed my certification test. Over the years I became a quality teacher, however I was passionate and spent countless hours crafting my skill set. I agree standards shouldn’t be lowered, it’s possible to pass those tests, I was a c student and I passed it. Second, education has to be reformed including universities!!!!! Teachers also need higher quality professional development , many of it is a joke! I gave my 11 years of service. I’m now moving on to investing/entrepreneurship so I can help reform the education system in my community! Money talks lol
Trump can't get here soon enough. Less than 3 weeks to go
Why the hell would you think he’s going to fix anything. You think ending the DOE will help? 🤡
@@Dowskydowsky The collapse in standards happened under the DOE.
@ lmao! No it’s your party underfunding the educations system more than any other g20 country. It’s your “you can’t tell me how to raise my kid” attitude. The DOE made AP classes in public schools. It’s the only reason why high schoolers graduate with college degrees across the country. You have no idea what you’re talking about; a common theme among these scam artist podcasts. “Buy my hat made in China!” Lmao🤡🤡
@ the education system in souther states was HORRIBLE until the DOE made nation wide standards that PUSHED for college level academics when no one gave two shits before. Go read a book
LOLOLOL. 🤡🫵
Trump ain’t gonna do s**t except make our schools for-profit enterprises so his cronies can siphon all of the taxpayer resources into their pockets.
I taught in NJ for over 30 years. Standardized testing is frequently a waste of a lot of money. However reform must develop a valid system to evaluate qualifications for any job .
Its our answer for everything, if you are too stupid for the job we lower the standards! Which is why the USA dropped from 3-4 place internationally to 52......Now thats something to be proud of!

Are u really surprised? NJEA is the teacher's union. It's horrible!
Hi
These Poor Kids. This is a PROBLEM. They rely on Computers sooooo much, they do not evwn do anything without Computers. This will be a Problem.
Cellphones , computer's and instant foods . 2025 and beyond .
What a crying shame. Everything our previous generations worked their lives away for just being dismantled, destroyed and stomped on by stupid, stupid ideas that don't even get the consideration of why we have standards to begin with.
Most computers are smarter than average teachers.
The problem is you're listing to right wrong propaganda and believing it to be true without doing any research yourself
Just think these are idiots with bachelor degrees too in these union 80k teacher jobs. They need to eliminate the requirement of a bachelor degree, make an age limit to work with kids you should be 25 or older. Pick the class you will specialize in teaching and make it a certification that you test on annually and know inside & out. Teaching k-12 needs to require certification not a useless bachelors degrees from over priced diploma mills…
I substitute quite often it’s awesome especially when my kids/family need more of me than others and in between jobs I love it❤
MTV’s Jersey Shore wasn’t stupid enough.
I remember taking those tests my senior year of college while earning a degree to teach elementary school, and I found the test to be unnecessary. How did you get into and graduate from college if you can't read, write, and do math? I wish the panel would have discussed what these tests cover. I don't mind dropping the tests, but I do agree that standards for teachers should increase, and with that there salary (a whole new can of worms to discuss). Other means exist, beside a test, to see if people are capable of teaching. Unfortunately, those methods take more time and therefor more money. As a side note, I'm homeschooling my kids. Lastly, the biggest influence kids need is there parents. Time for parents to raise their kids and not expect schools to do it. Boom... Second can or worms open.
In Finland you only need a mark of 20% to pass University… imagine your surgeon only making 20% on their training…

Where is the teacher's union?! This is insane. I retired from being an elementary ed school teacher at 25 50 years ago because I could NOT get tenure which required teaching in a school for more than 2 years before considered. Once in you cannot be fired.
Florida had many teachers coming from my beloved Philippines.
Absolute insanity.
These new cut in requirements are IN ADDITION to all the requirements they cut during the pandemic and never reinstated
Lol send them to a private school which doesn't require all teachers to even have a college degree. Nice solution!! 😂😂
NJ?!?!? Don't they have the largest education budget in the nation?!?!?!
Oh, I am pretty sure we win here in California.
If they want professionals to entering the teaching profession they states need to pay more. A lot more. 🤷🏾♂️
Why is the taxes going up with the standards for school teachers and government jobs going down
On purpose
In Iowa, we have to take one to enter the education program and another to complete it.
Tom is an effing legend
This is a very strong argument to NOT give education oversight back to the states. Clearly, ALL educational oversight agencies need to be revamped. Obviously, this includes at the federal level. It's insane how little emphasis is put on actual learning. I've been in education my entire career and am devastated by what is happening.
They just need propaganda experts. Not real teachers

Tests don’t prove that teachers know the material that they are going to teach but whether they can pass a test that is pointless. Most of these folks passed their classes and received a bachelor’s degree. The test only holds them from getting a teaching certificate based on a test on material that they haven’t covered in years.
Homeschool for the win!!
Next step: not requiring teachers to speak any English.
That’s how it is for undergrads in college. All the TAs are foreign and don’t speak English

No. This is why the DOE needs to be dismantled and rebuilt.
This is why we need the department of education to go. They are destroying the standards at which we held education once upon a time.
My wife is a teacher and the reason no one wants to be a teacher is because parents expect teachers to raise their kids. They get no respect from the administration and on top of that, most do not get paid for what they do. Special education teachers get paid the same as regular teachers which literally doesn’t make sense.

9:00 This raises another concern about employment quality. Over the next 10-20 years, the overall standard of employees will decline, which will significantly impact our ability to maintain a high-quality workforce. As I prepare to acquire a conglomerate, I’m making strategic efforts to rebuild the standard of work. While I can’t directly influence this trend beyond attracting top talent, it’s clear that the skilled individuals we currently have are incredibly valuable, and their value will only increase over time.
