Oh. So the announcement isn’t that they will start educating K-12 students.

The announcement is a new teacher training (now offered to students in High school).

Ah, yes. Because the problem is clearly NOT the lack of compensation, it's because we haven't found enough people to fool into working long hours for low wages yet!

Ah yes, instead of solving the problem of why people don't want to be teachers just lower the bar to become a teacher.

"A state Department of Education committee looked at standards from similar programs in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and several other states to come up with standards for Pennsylvania, said Lee Burket, the state’s director of career and technical education."

Looking to Texas, Tenn., Georgia and Florida for standards??? JFC.

Seems we used to have FTA clubs (Future Teachers of America) in HS a long time ago. Did that stop?

My sister-in-law teaches at a Coal Region school and makes ~$41k a year, and gets regularly abused by the worst people on earth who think she's an overpaid babysitter. Why would any kid in their right mind want to be a Future Teacher of America right now?

Christ. We already have enough diapers snipers in the school systems. We don't need to close up the age gap.
