    Why would people lie about a teacher shortage? Teachers are struggling everyday with higher and higher class sizes, with no time to each any of them, because we are trying to manage behaviors! This will only increase the shortages! Teachers have been talking about this for years, before the pandemic. No one listened then; no one is listening now! Parents will only listen, when everyone is finally gone from the profession and no newbies will enter it. Veterans have been telling college students to get out of the education courses before they enter the he** that public education has become. It isn't the teachers that created it. It is the lack of funding and administrations that are taking all of the tax dollars in raises, rather than putting that money into the classroom and retaining teachers. So what do you all expect?!

    There is a huge shortage of great teachers who love teaching and really love the kids. After teaching for 37 years, I finally left because the administration was requiring me to dumb down the material and give everybody As and Bs whether the students earned it or not. Teachers have to put up with a lot of politics and play ball. Sadly our educational system does not put the students first.

      @Mom Mom Factual history doesn't suggest to children that their lives are predetermined by events that their ancestors may or may not have been a participant. Politically I am an Independent and prefer Libertarian candidates, therefore, given our current political climate I will be voting those that are pro nuclear families as research shows that children raised in single family homes are more likely to drop out of school, join gangs, do drugs, and commit crimes. Children raised in single family homes tend to have more disciplinary issues at school. Children raised in single family homes have less than a 20 percent chance of moving up the socioeconomic ladder. Children from two parent homes are more likely to graduate and find gainful employment, they have a 40 percent chance of moving up the socioeconomic ladder. Removing the father from the nuclear family and trying to substitute him with government assistant programs has had a devastating effect on the growth and development of the children. And it is not a problem that can be corrected by throwing money at it, Baltimore Public Schools spend more than most others per pupil and they have some of the most abysmal proficiency scores in the nation. So as an independent I will be voting for pro nuclear family candidates, pro parent inclusion in school curriculum candidates and pro school choice candidates as these measures would benefit the child and the educational prospects. Pedal your woke nonsense elsewhere, Racist.

That’s why funding is heavily invested in its military. Education gets none is not valued. The politics and laws made which is not for the good of benefiting and helping kids with their education, but for a political agenda so politicians can get millions more.

    Teachers are burnt out and tired of their jobs. Instead of spending most of their time teaching, they have to discipline students (NOT ALL) who are misbehaving. That’s one of the reasons why teachers quit their jobs. Some schools blamed teachers for a low state test scores and most of the time they will say, “It’s a teacher factor.” Parents, administrators, teachers and other stakeholders must work hand in hand to combat this situation giving our teachers more time to teach and prepare their lessons rather than bombarding them with a lot of ancillary works. Parents should at least help teachers by following up their kids about things they’ve done for the day or any assigned homework. Administration must design appropriate trainings for teachers to help them strategize their lessons and will not require lengthy lesson plans. Lol. 😃Teaching does not only occur at schools or in the 4 walls of the classroom but it starts at home. This is a collaborative effort for everyone involve.

    In public school education, there are just too many unpredictable scenarios and unknowns. Once hired, you have no idea where you're going to end up teaching, what type of students will enroll, or if administration will be supportive and competent. First year teachers usually end up at the worst schools a county has to offer, because the most desirable schools hire experienced teachers first before they consider people new to the profession. So, you're competing against legions of experienced teachers who already where all the best schools are located. If only a less desirable school hires you, then you'd have wait at least three years before you're eligible to transfer someplace else. And even after that, you're again competing with so many teachers who have been waiting for what seems like forever to get into the same top schools. The most desirable schools are usually in affluent suburbs. Teachers get paid more in these areas. School buildings in these areas are usually well maintained. Students residing in these areas are usually well parented in two-parent households. There is so much competition to get into schools with these characteristics. So, when you hear people report massive "teacher shortages" in the news, they aren't referring to schools in affluent districts. Teacher shortages are not widespread. The highest need for teachers are in areas where few people would dare go.
