[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers have posted here for well over a year telling you why there would be a teacher shortage. Many of you fail to listen. For those who do want to listen, ask the teachers you know in real life. This is a nationwide problem. Yes, mcps pays well but there it isn’t enough for many to continue to put up with the negatives of the job. And they are the same negatives in every other district. [/quote]

Does Howard county have a shortage? [/quote]

Google tells me HoCo has a shortage, and they just raised starting salaries from $50 to $56.

MSEA suggests setting base pay at $60.

Geez, that’s pathetically low.

Increase it to $70 at the very least! [/quote]

Yes, this is a national problem.[/quote]

The problem isn't so much the starting pay as it is the pay down the line in some places.  Texas, for example, starts people off pretty high.  But then they only get like $500 a year increases.  I'm in a different part of the country.  Yes, I think my pay should increase.  But teachers are leaving over working conditions, varied ones, not pay.  Some people are leaving over pay, but that is usually in the south and in the western united states.  Every teacher I know who is leaving is leaving due to conditions.  [/quote]
