DP, who did you think we’re filling these positions? If they had a bachelors and they can go through the career switcher program which is 3-4 months.

I thought they couldn't require or grade science fair participation for equity reasons.

This country is screwed. We need to pay teachers are nobody is going to get into the field. Look at the numbers of education major undergrad and graduate. We will soon be having high school grads as teachers.

That’s already happening. Many schools have long term subs or a revolving door of random subs or IAs teaching classes indefinitely because they can’t fill positions.

Agree with the other PP that the first priority must be to stop the bleeding of experienced teachers. Money is part of it but definitely not the only factor.

Same. I left after the 2021-22 year. Money wasn’t in the top 5 reasons, but working every weekend and disrespectful students were towards the top.
