    Good.

    Our modern notions that you need a bachelors + masters in education to teach simple educational concepts is asinine.

    Is this governor's last name pronounced "dookie"?

    That'd explain a lot.

    Hey we can’t get teachers!

    Let’s pay them more?

    Nah let’s just lower the standards, education isn’t important.

    Awesome! At least I can pack heat!

    I don't think a bachelor's degree should be the foundation of being a teacher, if you can pass the accreditation you should be able to teach, everthing that you need to teach is provided for you and a lot teachers don't actually have a mastery of the content anyway.

    Interpersonal skills are more important than academic accreditation, and it will grow the pool of people who would be eligible to teach which is great.

    Now I would put in some ways to monitor these teachers but you already have some of that with Teachers who get an alternate certification.

    The huge secret is that these types of people are already filling a huge hole for some school districts, they are using long-term subs to teach classes that they can't get certified teachers for.

    Especially in rural and poorer school districts.

    No it isn't. Only a person without experience would ever say that. So much to learn about reaching the wide variety of learners.

    Anecdotally speaking, more than 50% of the individuals that went on to become teachers from high school class, I was surprised they were able to complete college. Education is definitely not the place to be if you want to have a decent shot at retiring early with dignity.

    Pay is a part of it but it’s simplistic and misleading to just leave it at that.

    You can have -any- Bachelor's degree and be a teacher in Texas. You just have to be certified.

    I agree that some subjects shouldn't require a degree. But they should require a slew of certification, background, aptitude and mental checks before they're given a job.

    @jiggyfly nailed it: Schools are using anything they can to plug the dam holes of people leaving teaching. Long term subs, paraprofessionals, etc.

    I disagree, being in TRS in Texas is one of the shorter paths to retirement. If you start teaching at 25, you can retire at 55 in Texas as a teacher. That's 'early' based on longevity.
