Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced another round of funding aimed at getting more teachers into Maryland classrooms.
The state is awarding $14.7 million through its Grow Your Own Educators Grant Program to 13 school systems.
The grants will help 845 school employees become fully licensed teachers while continuing to work.
The program’s goal is to reduce teacher vacancies and create debt-free pathways into the profession, with a focus on high-need areas, such as special education and early childhood education.
Well you don’t really have to be a rocket scientist to be a teacher.

Have parents ever considered disciplining their children ?
You mean what teachers there are aren’t licensed? That sounds reasonable. What are they going to do? Make the janitorial employees licensed to teach now?
Actually, hiring inmates released from prison to be teachers will be beneficial.
Majority of black students in school.will go through the prison system
Inmates as teachers will help guide the students into the reality of their future life in prison
