Teacher Shortages

[Rawtid]

If you ain't ready to homeschool you're kids...

Homeschool isn’t feasible. Most families require the two incomes to live decently. I do think smaller class room sizes in any school setting is beneficial though.

Thats what happened to me. Schools BEG me to teach. I was going into worst areas. Funny thing is I actually connected with those kids . Most of brothas that teach are at middle school,high school level. I kid yall not they DONT want any black men teaching elementary unless they gay . White or black elementary they resent men in those offices.[/QUOTE

By design. Thank you feminism and consumerism. Also a shout out to materialism as well.

Black women have been forced to work since well before white women begged for the opportunity. Definitely wasn’t feminism that impacted it.

Might be wrong forum but what you guys think about school districts that have 100+ teacher openings,teachers are quitting left and right. Its bad to point where school bus drivers are actually becoming susbtitutes. How do yall non home schooling parents send your kids to school knowing schools are a mess.Public or Private must admit this school year coming up is pivotal for the future.

Result of years of government attacks on public education and charter are fukking garbage. It’s disgraceful how this country has destroyed the education system. Basically they only want rich people that go to private schools to get any kind of quality education

My brother is a teacher/coach. He only coaches for the stipend money because the teacher salary isn't enough when dealing with bad ass kids all day. Downside of the coaching part is he has to coach football, basketball and sometimes a 3rd sport to get the stipend smh. Which means he doesn't have much time to spend with my nephew but he gotta pay that child support somehow

Earn an average of $80k/year while getting a two week break in the spring, 3 month vacation in the summer, 10+ personal days a year, and all major holidays off while complaining about being underpaid teacher-brehs/brehettes.

The entire concept of school, curriculum and how teaching is viewed, has to be re-engineered. I think there should be a more collaborative effort between all type of schools and grouping children based on socio-economic conditions and/or overall learning style. Baltimore City school system for example, once reported they spent $15k per pupil, per school year.

A moderate private school can run about $6500 per school year, but probably facing student shortages. If the public school system could work with them to supplement the tuition for those children who have support at home and the academic capability, that lowers the population in the public school system and allow for more focused instruction to those students that need it.

As far as pay goes, there definitely existing programs, contracts or grants in place that could be used to supplement teacher salaries. For example, there is a budget for early childhood education, but also one for childcare subsidies. If you combine those budgets and move Kindergarten and Pre-K 3/4 into licensed childcare facilities, you can hire licensed teachers to teach at those centers, but also pay them more. A lot of parents with children that age will be utilizing childcare in addition to school anyway.

Kids should be graduating high school with either an associates degree, certification or completed an apprentice program for some trade.

Just fund public schools properly and untie funding from property values to fund them all equally. Privatization of school is an AWFUL idea and it always will be

There was a time like that, but had white women not begged, then it wouldn’t be this way. And it’s still by design, the welfare, the broken homes, ect…. Society is suffering from all angles. We’re literally being set up to be renters.

The job doesn't pay well so it attracts low quality individuals with low levels of mental fortitude.

It's by design.

Blackrock is single handedly trying to turn the entire Millennial and Gen Z pop into renters, and the government hasn't done shyt to slow down the sheer amount of houses they're buying.

If they don't have teachers they're not gonna go to class with a bunch of subs. Not all will rome the streets. Some will get part time jobs and will be able to get off early. Instead of working some late shift.

Do you honestly believe kids in this society have the work ethic to do that? In theory, it could work, since the retail and restaurant industry needs workers, an adults aren’t trying to work for those wages. But these kids are spoiled, and used to having things handed to them.

Are we talking about cops or teachers?

teaching in a low income district is one of the hardest jobs idc what anyone say. i worked at a charter school that took in low income students and it was a shyt show everyday. i feel bad for what these teachers have to go through and for the amount of schooling they do and the debt they get into the pay doesn't seem worth it. seems like most teachers i met get a couple of years of experience then try to get into a private school where they pay significantly more, have more resources and well behaved students.

teachers have to pay for classroom supplies with their own money which is just crazy.

K-12 teachers make 100k?

Where?

Did they get in before or after tenure limitations?

Average teacher pay is pathetic. And when shyt like food delivery apps matches or surpasses the average teacher salary, it's no wonder you have a shortage.
