[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look-teaching is hard and there are good teachers and bad teachers, professional and skilled and unprofessional and unskilled. Like any profession! There’s a weird dynamic reminiscent of the gross police unions where any criticism of any teacher is taken as a shocking moral outrage. Suck it up buttercups-if you’re not a bad teacher no one’s talking abt you. [/quote]

I'm not a teacher, but know the data-- there are an estimated currently .59 possible teachers (not just licensed, this includes provisional and alternately licensed etc.) available for every position (private, public, charter) in the US and the numbers are going down fast.  This is SO much lower than it's ever been. As existing teachers have to cover 1.5x as much it's only going to accelerate.  Add in the heightened vitriol.  So I'm pretty sure it's going to be us parents who are going to have to "suck it up buttercup" as these teachers realize they don't have to put up with unreasonable job conditions.  Excellent, highly experienced teachers are quitting ALL OVER and nobody wants to step in.  [/quote]

I don’t think anyone should stay year after year in a miserable job nor do I think parents need to act like each and every teacher is a hard-working, highly skilled saint. [/quote]
