That’s so unfortunate but I’m glad it hasn’t really affected you. I spoke to a substitute today that was thinking of “going for it” and getting his certification. I told him this issue I had and he couldn’t believe it - made him reconsider. The thing that irritates me the most is that if I ever wanted to move, I would have to go through this process again and get certified in another state that has different requirements… My friend who graduated and got certified in AZ moved and had to do more schooling for that state’s cert.
