Indiana is a terrible state. There is a 100+ HIV outbreak that nobody is talking about.
Well, there are plenty of people who have teaching licenses and a degree, but they don't live in Indiana. Especially in states where teacher openings are rare and don't happen unless someone retires or dies.
I think they could try to create a moving bonus incentive just to get some people over that moving expenses hump.

teachers bytching.....what else is new?
Without looking, I would guess that indiana's average teaching salary in relation to cost of living is trash or they fukked with their pension fund. Why would someone trying to be a teacher in NoVa potentially pulling in 70-80k want to go work for 30k even if it's a guaranteed job?
not really bytching, less and less people are going into the profession cause of the amount of paperwork and bullshyt hoops you have to go through
The word "potential" is the thing. There's also the potential they'll never land a job because they are in line behind 100 other people.Without looking, I would guess that indiana's average teaching salary in relation to cost of living is trash or they fukked with their pension fund.

Some teachers do. Others don't.Teachers make their jobs sound horrible maybe that's why nobody wants to teach.

Also, what I'm talking about is people who have the credentials to be a teacher but work in a state or part of a state where teaching jobs are scarce. They are signed up as substitute teachers and go in as often as possible but aren't full-time. These people are making less than 30K and would take that job in Indiana if they had the money to get there.
Exactly. I understand that. That's why I had an idea for Indiana to provide moving expense assistance.Moving across the country for a 30k job(not to mention the hassle of getting registered to teach in a new state) isn't something a lot of middle class people are willing to make. Better to stay where you are and work/volunteer in the school system in hopes to landing a job there.

Do you read anything from the start?
How many secondary school teachers do you know?Might increase the willingness of some to move, still not gonna get an influx of quality teachers unless you raise salaries/increase benefits
