Seriously. I am so done with these entitled asshole parents. Stop monitoring everything. Power down your choppers. You are doing your children a disservice.[/quote]

I sincerely hope you aren’t a teacher. Teachers have a long way to go to rehabilitate their bruised image and comments like this aren’t helping.[/quote]

np. agree that was uncalled for and realize that long rehabilitation goes both ways [/quote]

The fact of the matter is the profession is in crisis. They are running ads for teachers on national TV. There is a crisis of epic proportion with regard to the reputation of teachers. I’m not sure that they understand when they respond like this it only reinforces that negative perception. Perhaps they don’t care. [/quote]

Great. Whatever the cause, whose problem is it then? Yours. Because it will be your kid with no teacher or in a class of 38. The ex-teacher or wannabe teacher will be happily off somewhere else not caring anymore. So, what's your solution? Since you seem to think you pay teachers' salaries, how are you going to make it so someone wants to work for you again? As the employer, YOU have to make the job desirable so someone will take it when there's a crisis shortage. The onus is not on the candidate to "rehabilitate their image" for a job nobody seems to want anyway.[/quote]

If you think that just because a teacher resigns that void isn’t gonna be filled by somebody you’re insane. Teachers are replaceable just like everybody else. All you do is sit around and threaten to quit and you don’t.[/quote]

What do you need to believe that the very real teacher shortage is real? Do you need a news story announcing that 40% of your school’s teachers are quitting at the exact same time? Because that isn’t going to happen. Whether you believe it or not, you are already affected by the teacher and sub shortage. We had almost an entire department refuse to return this year. We now have mostly new teachers and positions that are still not filled and this was before the winter Covid case increase. Teachers are losing their planning periods to cover other classes because we have a teacher and sub shortage. When you complain that you don’t like a teachers lessons or think something is busy work, that may be a result of teachers not having planning periods any more. Do you ask your student every day if they had any subs? You probably don’t and my parents didn’t ask me that when I was growing up because we expect it to be a minor issue. You are already being affected but most people don’t notice it  but complain about not getting responses from teachers etc.[/quote]
