[quote=Anonymous]It’s not as simple as more pay. Teachers need more in-class support (paraprofessionals, second SPED or ELL teacher in the room) to meet the needs of all students. Increasing class sizes and diverse needs mean teachers are often expected to do more than humanly possible. The reality is that the sub shortage and occasional absences of support staff mean that I’m regularly called upon to individually meet the needs of students who are supposed to have a second adult in the classroom at all times (yes, my administrators know I can’t be two people at once, and either can’t or won’t do anything to address this issue). I knew what I would get paid when I went into this field. I knew it would be a lot of work. I didn’t know I would be asked to do more with less with each passing year. - Top student, 10+ years in teaching public school, leaving the classroom at the end of the school year [/quote]
