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.
You can think of it like performers. An actress is still an actress outside of her performances, but she won’t be the character she portrays. On the other hand there are music artists that take their character outside of a performance, in interviews for example. Lady Gaga and Poppy are people who come to mind in that regard
Thank you, that’s a helpful analogy!
