That's why some states, like this one, have so many "out-of-field"
teachers who teach subjects they aren't certified in!
To hire only those certified in the fields they'd teach would either
require a bonus for hard-to-fill subjects or a major across-the-board raise
to the pay required to get people to teach math, physical sciences, and
computers. (It would also require many districts here to offer "supplements"
like richer districts do to be competitive with them.)
