[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers aren't special.  There is a labor shortage everywhere.  Contrary to popular belief, there is no "great resignation"; instead, it is the "great swap".  People are switching careers.  Also, there was always a teacher shortage and we made it work. When these "teachers" can't find a job that lets them get off at 3:00 or 4:00 and have summers off.  Just resign if you're going to so parents and the school board can plan.[/quote]

No one said teachers are special. They are probably leaving so they don’t have to deal with morons such as yourself though.[/quote]

This.
I just finished a school year filled with 70 hour weeks. I couldn’t get any of my work done at work because I was always covering classes during my planning periods. (Why was I doing that? Staffing shortages.) I’m about to spend my entire summer in classes I paid for to maintain my certification. I’m also writing curriculum for free. I would LOVE to know where I can get this “off at 3:00 or 4:00 job.”

It is EXACTLY attitudes like the one above that make good teachers want to leave.[/quote]
