[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers are saying they are maxed out and leaving.
DCUM posters respond with the following:
1) In my area, teachers are paid very well and get lots of time off.
2) In my school, teachers don't post grades, put kids on computers all day, and leave at the bell.
3) Teachers are just complainers.

But here's the thing, even if all the DCUM arguments are true, it doesn't change the fact that teachers are leaving.  Many, many, many teachers are leaving.  Some are leaving mid-year.  Positions are going unfilled.  There are significantly fewer teacher ed programs in colleges and those that still exist are enrolling fewer students in the remaining programs.  States are trying to fill the gaps with foreign hires and uncertified staff.  This is a major problem for families and students and remaining staff and it is getting worse.  Those are the facts. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it doesn't change facts.
