[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]EVERY industry is having a staffing crisis now - from the haircuttery to Fortune 500 companies. A million people died of Covid over the past two years. There is a labor shortage across the board. But of course, teachers complain the loudest. [/quote]

Eh. Try the job for a week. (A day?) Then you’ll understand. There’s a reason teachers are so adamantly calling for change.

And no, all other professions aren’t facing a shortage. Where are all the articles about a lawyer shortage? A banker shortage? A corporate office staffer shortage? A firefighter shortage? No, it isn’t every industry, but you already knew that. [/quote]

There are actually shortages in many of those other jobs. It's just that they don't whine as loudly as teachers. Also, these other professionals don't just get 2-3 months off in the summer so they can think of the 1000 reasons why they're so underpaid.[/quote]

This isn’t hard to understand. (Perhaps it is since a few posters are having difficulty with the concept.) Schools are facing extreme shortages. Teachers are walking out, either by striking or by quitting. People don’t leave their jobs when they are adequately respected and compensated; they have bills and responsibilities. You can scream “it’s such a great deal” all you want, but the people who actually KNOW the deal clearly disagree. This thread is full of a disconnect: misled posters claiming teachers have it good and then posters illustrating the stark truth about the state of education.

Having your head in the sand does not change reality. It just lets you remain ignorant to it.  [/quote]
