E3 or E4 with two years of community college (no article I can find excludes community college) be teaching your kids? Should this be for five years? How about one or two and extensions if you show progress toward whatever FL standards are for actual teachers?

Why the military? If two years toward a degree and passing a certification (the article specifies only needed for some subject areas) is sufficient to teach kids then why not apply it to everybody? This sounds to me like a purely political social war thing and a way to avoid so called wokism. DeSantis wouldn't want spouses of Disney employees teaching FL kids.

Shouldn't there be standards for ANYBODY to teach your kids? We're not talking about short cuts to becoming a mail clerk, after all. If there is a teaching shortage I would rather Florida (and maybe they do) copy what other states have done and make it easy for people with college degrees in other fields get a temporary teaching certificate.
