One teacher with two decades of experience said he couldn't get a call back from Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools despite the ongoing labor shortage in education.
It appears to be a huge disconnect between the school systems vetting process for qualified teachers & the demand for teacher personnel in the classroom. They are in serious need of a "reality check"!!!!!!
The more years a teacher has, the more money they have to be paid. Sometimes they are trying to save money by hiring newer teachers who have fewer years experience thus less salary.
Agreed. I call BS. I taught for 4 years at one of the top colleges in the nation, earned 2 undergraduate degrees, a master of education, and a master on liberal arts from an Ivy League school and I have not been asked to interview after submitting 12 applications to teaching positions. I am also half way through completing my grad certificate in school management in leadership from Harvard and 18 months away from finishing my Ph.D. at UTEP and still… crickets.
I've read several of the comments and I agree with many. I taught in the public schools for 32 years, in that time I've seen many of the changes that were mentioned in this video, and how difficult it has been for our teachers to adapt to them. It's more than just teacher pay, the pandemic, etc. that is causing the crisis. If you teach in a large urban area you have many challenges. The burnout rate is higher in these areas, but it has gotten harder to teach anywhere. I spent all of my years in these kinds of schools, so I was fortunate to have made it as long as I did. I would say the issues I began facing in the last 5 years leading up to my retirement was this rampant, almost militant evolution of politically correct multiculturalism. I also can't emphasize enough how this has affected classroom management issues teachers have today. Teachers do not have the backing and support of administration and parents to control their classes as they have in the past. If you have students in your class that are constantly disrupting instruction, and there is no will to discipline them, then everyone loses. To give you an example, the district I taught at held inservices for us on our new discipline policy. As time went on, teachers began to complain that students were not being sent to alternative school, detention, home etc. even after very serious infractions, in many cases these same students were back in their classes the same day. Personally I loved being a teacher, but I don't blame anyone for leaving. Public service is difficult.
Yeah principles see who’s best they usually want someone thats like them. It can be a race issue also. That teacher wasn’t qualified because he was Latino most likely.

Rejecting someone with a Master's? CMS is losing out

Middle and high-school in demand. Not Elementary

No surprise here lol.
They want to hire YOUNGER teachers first so they can pay them less. That's the answer.
CMSD: We denied your application because we looking with someone with experience of being white.
