[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Education. There’s teacher shortages so it’s fairly easy to get a job, but it might not be in a good district.[/quote]

My DS graduated with a degree in Math and Secondary Ed and received a job offer within a week of his very first interview.  He wanted to work in a private high school and was offered a much higher salary than he was expecting - he accepted the job.  [/quote]
Yep. Math teachers are in high demand. Too bad we have a hard time convincing young people who are good at math to become teachers.[/quote]
That would be my DS.  Superstar  in math, dual CS math major, but they do not want to teach.  I don't blame them. Who wants to deal with out of control teens.  If the kids were well behaved, wanted to learn, and the parents weren't helicopters, maybe DS would be more likely to want to teach.  But, today, teachers have to deal with too much: out of control teens, and parents, and admins.

And I'm not even a teacher but I shudder when I think about teaching.[/quote]
American education would improve overnight if parents could accept that their special little star isn't perfect and is often an issue for other students and their education. We desperately need to bring back standards and [b]FAILURE[/b]. Most A+ students are not actually at mastery level across subjects, but the standards have fallen to hell.[/quote]

Honey

They need to be paid more than they are now. I've got talented math kids and there is no way I would be promoted education. My mom was a nurse and I lump all these "helper" professions together.

Everyone loves them. They get cookies and a paid for lunch when its their "week" but in no way are these professions valued, the workload is well beyond what they are paid. And I suspect that the only reason that people haven't entirely deserted these professions is because you've got those with a soft heart who want to "help" people.

Of course society takes advantage of them.

This is such a patronizing post.

I’m a teacher and my DD is in college to become one. I’m thrilled she decided on a career that helps people instead of selecting one that simply helps herself.

I’m thrilled teachers and other “helpers” you look down on have guaranteed employment. In a world of AI and shrinking opportunities, your “helpers” will be okay.
