This spurious recall campaign was later paused due to not enough signatures.

Imagine if doctors, lawyers, accountants, chemists, engineers, architects, etc could suddenly move latterly into teaching positions. Current union members would be pushed out and quality of education would go up.
The whole profession should be re-assigned to the bottom of the ocean.

My mother was hired at a local Christian school to teach physics. She knew zip about physics (and was scared of the machines my dad and I built and played with). But she understood real, classical education. I got to watch her in action.
She scheduled the lessons, and kept the students on track. Then she told them, "I don't understand this! Can you explain it to me?" They all competed to try to get her to understand. Maybe twice, there was a question they were stumped on - but an expert (my dad) was available after work.
I saw first hand that no, subject matter knowledge is NOT required, and only occasionally helpful, for a good teacher.
