Republicans lawmakers in Wisconsin have proposed a rule change that would allow high school dropouts to be licensed to teach in public schools, which critics have slammed as “breathtaking in its stupidity.” The Journal Sentinel reported that the measure proposed by Republican state Rep. Mary Czaja was slipped into a 1:30 a.m. Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee vote last week with other K-12 budget items. According to a statement from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, the new rule would require DPI to “license anyone with a bachelor’s degree in any subject to teach English, social studies, mathematics, and science.” And DPI would be required to “issue a teaching permit for individuals who have not earned a bachelor’s degree, or potentially a high school diploma, to teach in any subject area, excluding the core subjects of mathematics, English, science, and social studies.” Czaja said that the new requirements were necessary to give rural school districts more leeway when hiring staff. But Wisconsin Rural Schools Alliance Jerry Fiene told the Journal Sentinel that the change “totally destroys any licensure requirements that we have in Wisconsin.” State Superintendent Tony Evers explained to Wisconsin Public Television that the policy would drop the state’s teacher standards to the lowest in the country. “It essentially takes the licensing system out of the state’s hands and puts it in 424 school districts’ hands,” Evers noted. “If you’re a buddy of the superintendent or the principal, you go in and say, ‘Gosh, I want to teach here,’ he or she says yes, you’ve got a license.” In its press release, DPI also pointed out that the state would be banned from placing any additional requirements on school staff, including background checks and fingerprinting. “It’s breathtaking in its stupidity,” Evers told Wisconsin Radio Network.

Why not? Nobody learns anything useful in high school,anyway. We could replace teachers with actual chimps and no one could tell the difference in the final product.

Well I guess you and your breathtaking stupid racist Comrades would prohibit Lincoln from teaching school. Way to go, morons.

It's a wonder they can think at all.
Thinking is not only NOT required,it is frowned on and can get you in trouble. It got me kicked out of college and caused me to lose my GI Bill... NEVER face down a professor in front of the class and tell him he is wrong and how and why he is wrong. Especially after he has laughed at an answer you gave him to one of his posed questions,and went off on a rant to impress everyone with his wisdom. Prima Donna asshats.

As an obese, disgusting, retarded, and misanthropic high school drop out I hope the day where the state will start killing everyone who doesn't receive a good amount of education to erase them from the planet. Some people don't deserve to exist in society.
3*4=11 and 2+2=5 Nooo. Can't have folks thinking and asking why bankmail needs to be editable... after it's sent. Or why FICO scores need "executive override". Or why there's 700+ TRILLION dollars in derivative a$$paper floating in the pool. Thinking might disrupt the herd/hive's feeding habits.
A Wisconsin bill would allow qualified individuals to teach high school in their areas of expertise, at the discretion of the superintendent or principle of the district. Opposition is breathtaking in its stupidity.

It got me kicked out of college and caused me to lose my GI Bill... Thinking is not frowned upon. Acting like an asshole is what got you kicked out. At least that is how your explanation came across.
Proud of your elementary school diploma,are you?

I guess Bill Gates should be barred from teaching High School and College students about business?
