Teachers should start at 90k in HCOL areas. 

Those are the ones who usually scare kids straight.nah, let a 19 year old goon who was honorably discharged for mental illness be a teacher. let a Vietnam era drill sergeant run a middle school class. it's all good.

We all still remember the seemingly meanest teacher from junior high. We all reached out after college, went to visit the kids in his class and thanked him for being so tough.
Visited my a$$hole HS religion teacher too
Got us ready for the a$$holes in the real world lol
Ladies and gentlemen…..part of the problem right heretbf, that's all you gotta do.
Anyone can teach anyone anything as long as they're a little bit more knowledgeable than the person learning.
So much god damn truth in this postI'm not surprised. This is gonna happen across a lot of industries, in the next decade (baby-boomers retiring/dying off). Now....they're suddenly looking for the millennial bailout/stimmy package, when these old fukks, boxed younger folks out, for the last couple decades.
You know the phrase...they loved to put on job postings, back in the day....
"EXPERIENCE REQUIRED..."
Now everyone is in panic/desperation mode, and the goalposts are moved. Now it's suddenly...
"We'll take anyone...hurry!"
Folks were trying to get experience,or their foot in the door tho, before.
You allowed these baby-boomers (SPECIFICALLY CACS) to hold onto these positions/jobs, for 30, to 40+ years. Millions, and millions of cushy positions (summers off, fat pensions, barely even teaching, in a lot of places..."Heart not in it anymore", etc). They refused to relinquish these jobs, or let new blood in.
You wouldn't allow younger ppl/generations, to get into these jobs, or integrate them sooner. You've JUST recently, within the last 5-7 years, started to see millennials breach a lot of these positions.
Now the pandemic, exacerbated folks retiring, exposed this new generation of bad ass kids coming into play (raised via social media), bad pay, etc. At least if they would've locked even more younger ppl into some of these positions, years ago, they would've started off running, already. Now all this is coming to a head, at once. Good luck now, acquiring new talent. Everyone wit some sense, recognizes, these generation-z nkkas are full of some bad ass, clout-chasin, emotionally-detached delinquents.
Ppl do their "googles" now too, so candidates are more likely to weigh the risk/rewards, before chasing a lot of these positions, too. Long-story short...its not looking good.![]()
Bout damn time.As many jobs open on the market these days, a lot of teachers are jumping ship.
Our education system needs an overhaul from the top down.
