[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay PP but where are we getting the teachers to replace those who decide not to turn to school in person? One of my colleagues has MS and he won't be returning in the fall. We can never get subs at our school and it seems like this year we won't be able to combine classes. Who will teach those students?[/quote]

New hires? Just like any other time when teachers retire or otherwise leave the system?[/quote]

A lot of kids who want to be teachers graduated this past year.  Hire them.  [/quote]

In a normal year, they are a drop in the bucket and most won’t stay. In a year in which 20% of experienced teachers might leave? Welcome to class sizes of 45 under the direction of substitutes. Enjoy![/quote]

-What to do about teachers who quit/retire?
-Hire more teachers.
-No, that won't work.

I wish that all of the people who are going to so much trouble to explain why every possible idea for GETTING KIDS BACK IN SCHOOL is impossible, would instead go to the trouble of figuring out ways to get kids back in school.[/quote]
There’s a bit of a disconnect between people who work in schools and know how difficult it is to hire and people who think there are thousands of people ready to jump into the classroom. There’s a middle ground solution but it likely requires lots of money for incentives, while school districts have huge shortfalls. The federal government might need to step in for stimulus positions.
