[quote=Anonymous]I would move to teaching but it is a pay cut for me and therefore I cant do it. And its not even a big pay cut- its 5-10k right now but I get raises every year (around 5-7%). It doesnt make financial sense for most working professionals with a bachelors, masters, etc. to move into teaching unless their spouse is the primary income.

You want teachers. Pay people. Every teacher I know is either a) staying until retirement because they are less than 5 years away from 25 years 2) staying 2-5 more years to make 15/20 years so that pension/healthcare is more subsidized 3)waiting until their kids are HS age so they dont need summer camps if a parent is working 4)looking for a new job and is willing to break contract if they get offered the position.

They can train as many teachers as they want but less and less people are going into teaching because it is not a well-paid profession compared to other educated professionals.

Your child is just experiencing a national phenomenon right now. I hope we can turn it around.
