[quote=Anonymous][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]

Teaching.. the job where everyone has an opinion… the public needs them (as evidenced from the pandemic) but at the same time, feel zero shame bashing them whenever they feel the need. It’s seriously a thankless job. [/quote]
