Yep. Teachers aren't indentured servants. [b]I don't want to hear another contrived news story about the teacher shortage. If the jobs aren't filling it's because the compensation and condition[/b]s are poor. The market bhas spoken. End of story. The entitled parents won't care until principals in their schools are hiring J1 Visa teachers from abroad. I hope you all don't overspend on your house because your ZIP code entitles you to nothing in any public school system![/quote]

This has been a common theme when unemployment was low, jobs with poor pay/conditions can't compete. We shall see what happens in this recession. Although nthis recession has impacted more people in low wage retail/food service/entertainint jobs[/quote]

States still had lists of content area shortages back in 2008.  The people who leave have options and the ones who don't will stay.

Education programs in colleges/universities also aren't training as many teachers so the supply of young, fresh blood for the churn and burn is low as well. I don't think economic downturn will lead to improved teacher quality nor higher parent/student satisfaction.
