[quote=Anonymous]I agree with your suggestions, but I want to point out that test scores are not tied to funding anymore, or at least, schools that score poorly receive more funding now, under ESSA.  The problem with state test scores is that everyone wants them - parents want to know how their DC is doing, how their school compares.  Everyone wants to have numbers to look at - journalists, politicians, educators, parents, everyone.  We're addicted to test scores.

Also, there are job shortages almost everywhere.  Doctor shortages, nurse shortages, teacher shortages, even retail worker shortages.  There are not enough people anywhere, it seems.  We need to radically reallocate our workforce, but I think we also need to radically restructure everything - every profession is unhappy, hates their job, tells their children not to follow in their footsteps.  Etc.  As parents, teachers are the profession that we see every day.  But so many professions are broken right now.  Not just teaching.  [/quote]
