‘Never seen it this bad’: America faces catastrophic teacher shortage
[i]
Rural school districts in Texas are switching to four-day weeks this fall due to lack of staff. Florida is asking veterans with no teaching background to enter classrooms. Arizona is allowing college students to step in and instruct children.

The teacher shortage in America has hit crisis levels — and school officials everywhere are scrambling to ensure that, as students return to classrooms, someone will be there to educate them.

But the higher-ups did make it worse.  MCPS has a leader with two MCEA no confidence votes against her.  How long do you think that will last?[/quote]

+1 Typical MCPS practice to gaslight instead of admitting there’s a serious problem that needs to be proactively addressed. Sure there’s a teacher shortage nationwide. However that means that MCPS should be doing more to make the school system an attractive place for teachers to work. Overworked and underpaid while cutting back health insurance benefits is not an attractive workplace. A place with low teacher satisfaction drives current teachers away from the school system and the mass exodus signals to new teachers to choose another school system.
