[quote=Anonymous]I don't think folks understand just how bad the teacher shortage is right now.  My school requires that every teacher has an ESL certificate due to the high numbers of students speaking many different languages.  We used to get hundreds of qualified applicants for every open position.  Now we get maybe a dozen applicants, mostly from unqualified applicants.  We recently had to hire a new teacher.  We interviewed a few people.  Out of those, really only 2 were qualified in any sense of the word.  Only one was decent.  The one that was decent ended up not being able to accept the job.  That left us hiring someone that we didn't really want.  So a tatoo or piercing?  No biggie.  We just need folks who can teach.  I'm so seriously glad that my own kids are nearly done with K-12.  And I'm extremely, extremely worried about the kids I work with each year.  We expect that about half of our teachers will retire in the next 3 years.  I have no idea how any of our kids are going to learn with the applicant pool we have.

OP, you are worrying about the wrong things.[/quote]
