[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has had a long term sub the entire year so far in physics.
The school has not been able to find anyone [/quote]

This is going to become a huge problem.

We can’t find teachers at our school willing to take on AP classes. When everybody is already swamped and exhausted, who will agree to piling on that much more work? Strong teachers used to campaign for those classes. Not anymore. [/quote]
There are currently 7 open physics positions posted. Why would anyone want to be a highly qualified STEM teacher when they can literally make twice the money with less stress in industry? There needs to be pay differentials for hard to fill positions.[/quote][b]

Not many industry jobs include a pension that kicks in after 20 something years and guarantees half your pay for life. [/quote][/b]

It's almost impossible to make it that long in today's public schools. I'm stubborn so I refuse to quit but most of the people I started with no longer teach.[/quote]

You can count me in that number. I lasted 16 grueling years before switching to a private school. The thought of losing my pension at 30 years (not 20 as PP suggested) didn’t stop me at all. [/quote]
