[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There isn’t a shortage. There are enough certified teachers to work but they [b]are choosing not to[/b]. Of course, the school districts don’t care about why teachers leave. [/quote]

This is false. Less people are majoring in education. There is data to support it. [/quote]

Fewer people are majoring in education.  :lol: [/quote]

And way fewer are currently receiving an education.[/quote]

Do we have definitive numbers on the part in bold? I am a teacher and I have not yet been told to return to the school with students. I have only been asked my preference which was hybrid.

It may vary.  There isn't a single teacher on 3 teams I work with (secondary) who is willing to go hybrid or f2f, and none of the teachers in my neighborhood (another 5 people) feel the same.  We're close-in NoVa.  I also know two private school teachers who quit because they were told to come back for hybrid.  One was less than 5 years away from retirement but still.[/quote]

No doubt it varies. There are 7 teachers (6 gen ed and 1 special ed) on my team (elementary) and at least 6 of us are willing to go to hybrid of f2f. I'm not sure about the 7th. 3 of us are working from the building now. 
I can think of 13 teachers working from the building plus a few IAs and the librarian. None of those I've spoken to are against having students return. I know of others who are not in the building who will return. [/quote]
