This. In some ways the vitriol (on both sides) is besides the point. There are all sorts of reasons, from truly life-or-death to frivolous, why a teacher would not want to work in-person in these circumstances. But if you cannot or will not do your job, you resign. That's just how it is. The employers find new workers, change criteria for the job, offer more $, or whatever, to find replacements.

Yes, theyll just make teachers appear even though there are shortages all over the country. Short programs like Teach for America have a horrible success rate when it comes to them staying in the classroom. You need people who can manage a classroom, have at least a Bachelors degree, willing to work 60 hours for less than 50k for the first year, pay for all of their classroom supplies, and lets not forget CAN ACTUALLY TEACH TO DIFFERENT KIDS. Yall act like all they need is a body in there then youll complain that the teachers arent teaching. Well this is what you get.[/quote]

Please.  Where are teachers going to go in a deep recession? There is also a "alternative jobs with commensurate salaries and benefits" shortage.  And that shortage is going to get worse, and more white-collar, before it gets better.  Call their bluff.  People keep mentioning AZ, but MA, CT, and now NYC have opened with no exodus.  This is just baloney.[/quote]
