[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone whose nieces and nephews in Ashburn are on their third year of having a long term sub because LCPS couldn't fill a position...well, idiot, of course they do quit. That is why there is a critical shortage of teachers in this country.

What I find confounding is that for all of let the market drive things...teacher wages seem to be the one thing that is uncoupled from that concept.

The other fun thing -- as a LEO -- I get my salary and overtime. But I work in a profession that is primarily male. There is an inherent sexism in education that people refuse to actually address. My DH is a DCPS teacher and his day is way, way more dangerous than mine. [/quote]

My neighbor's son in 3rd grade has a long term sub this year after having one all of last year in 2nd grade.  It really blew my mind!  Same letter was received this year... hopeful that a permanent teacher will be found... blah, blah, blah... Ms. ____ is an excellent teacher blah blah blah.

My other neighbor is a teacher at a school in Sterling and she told me that the librarian had to cover a classroom one day because no sub could be found.    [/quote]
