I urge you to oppose this bill. As a late career switcher to CTE agriculture teaching, having been a farmer with a degree in Dairy Science from Virginia Teach, I would have easily met this standard. I have taken the classes for the licensure and the understanding I have gained is invaluable to understand the lingo and the need, the actual decisions' being made by veteran teachers and administrators. In my first full year, I may have said yes. But there is much to be learned in a classroom that no one, and I mean no one can prepare you for. Please vote against.
