What a horrible disservice this is to children! Being in the military or simply being married to someone who was in the military does not qualify anyone to educate young people. They only need half of a degree, a low gpa, and a passing test score - Florida's children are doomed. This is the state's cheapest possible option to get warm bodies into classrooms - not educators. This is how little they care for the future. [/quote]

Try reading the article.  They aren't just putting veterans or their spouses in the classroom.  The only opposition to this is of course coming from the teachers unions.

Effective July 1, 2022, Florida issues a 5-year Temporary Certificate for military veterans who have not yet earned their bachelor’s degrees and meet the following eligibility:

-Minimum of 48 months of military service with an honorable/medical discharge
-Minimum of 60 college credits with a 2.5 grade point average
-Passing score on a Florida subject area examination for bachelor’s level subjects
-Employment in a Florida school district, including charter schools
