[quote=Anonymous]So funny how OP insists she isn’t being political. An actual teacher has responded and been dismissed out of hand. It’s doesn’t matter if teachers were authorized to beat the shit out of unruly kids with closed fists if the schools are overworking and underpaying teachers and the parents are a bunch of lunatics. And THAT’s what’s going on. And to answer the previous question about why the shortage is more acute in red states, the answer is obvious: because by and large red states pay less. Most teachers are women. In the past, women had fewer opportunities in the workplace, so more became teachers. Now, there are more opportunities for women, and they pay more. That is the entirety of the problem.[/quote]
