I'm going to guess bullshit, because the writing style smells vaguely leftist.
Obviously. They're skipping all sorts of steps to make sure the teachers can teach. Also, most substitutes need at least 90 college credits.
I don't know about Florida but where I am all you need is a high school diploma and experience working with children. College education just allows you to work longer before you need to renew your license. It's a joke but everyone knows that substitute teaching is a thinly disguised babysitting gig. If Florida is purging groomers then this is a more than acceptable price to pay. For 3rd grade the big thing is being able to work with kids. Any retard can teach the content.
For real, I did that for a bit before I landed a full-time teaching job (which I washed out of quick af lol) and iirc the reqs were being 21 or older and having a high school diploma. Good for any grade and any subject.
I saw the early-childhood education majors so I can confirm! I am very skeptical K-5 needs a 4 year degree.
Most of the substitutes I've met have been fully certified teachers, but borderline retarded and on the outs with the union. I'm not sure the degree really helps.
LOL. My brain was giving off redditor lefty vibes too. It must be that passive-aggressive notion of superiority you can sense from the writing.
They denigrated the new hire's age, working class background, ability and credentials when the fucking, fully certified mentoring teacher had to use "classroom" twice in their opening sentence to form a coherent thought.
