Critical teacher shortage disrupting school openings

[OfTheCross]

The Washington Post provides this perspective on what is ahead in the next few weeks:

The teacher shortage in America has hit crisis levels — and school officials everywhere are scrambling to ensure that, as students return to classrooms, someone will be there to educate them.
“I have never seen it this bad,” Dan Domenech, executive director of the School Superintendents Association, said of the teacher shortage. “Right now, it’s number one on the list of issues that are concerning school districts … necessity is the mother of invention, and hard-pressed districts are going to have to come up with some solutions.

The Nevada State Education Association estimated that roughly 3,000 teaching jobs remained unfilled across the state’s 17 school districts as of early August. In a January report, the Illinois Association of Regional School Superintendents found that 88 percent of school districts statewide were having “problems with teacher shortages” — while 2,040 teacher openings were either empty or filled with a “less than qualified” hire. And in the Houston area, the largest five school districts are all reporting that between 200 and 1,000 teaching positions remain open.

The teacher shortage is a witches’ brew of pandemic stress mixed with low pay and a growing lack of respect for their profession from politicians and parents who restrict what teachers can say in the classroom.

When parents get back to teaching their kids discipline & respect, and when the population learns that society isn't supposed to be catered to the sensitive feelings of undisciplined, rude little shıtbags and their equally shıtbag parents, that's when teaching will once again be an attractive option as a career.

For some reason it's hard for people to understand that lack of stress is priceless.

Misery isn't even worth millions.

Btw, it's funny how people are so quick to talk about compensation yet have nothing to say about home training. Makes you realize where people's priorities actually are.

Try making the pay a bit more competitive than Walmart and you might be able to retain teachers. Cops are just gonna stand around if something happens to these students. May as well do some re-allocating.

These people think money is the answer for every problem. The older they get, the more they'll understand its not.

My retired now soon to be unretired unk who is math teacher is coming out of retirement for a nice bag. He will be teaching at the private high school his sons went too. He is filling in the diversity role being the only breh on staff. The school is hella stuffy.

He said no way in hell is he teaching in his own city in public school again. Seeing as how I went the rival private highschool school , I'm going to the home side come soccer, lacrosse and basketball season to cheer on my school hella trolling . Proud legacy 220+ years and still making world changers/ paper getters and part time academic trolling.


Props to unk coming out of retirement only for the dollars.
