[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a labor shortage. This is not unique to mcps.[/quote] There isn't a shortage of qualified teachers. There is a shortage of qualified teachers willing to do the job. There's a difference.[/quote] I would disagree. There are retirees as boomers and others leave the workforce. There is pandemic burnout taking others out of teaching. Interest in being a teacher is waning. We are not graduating from college and producing enough certified teachers. Exit > Entrants [/quote] +1 My daughter earned $100K her first year after earning a BS in Finance. She has a great job with benefits. The starting salary and long term potential for teachers is not as attractive as other career options. Then there’s the safety risks with fights and weapons on schools. Students weigh those pros and cons when choosing a college major. [/quote]
