[quote=Anonymous][quote]As a simple issue of supply and demand, they just need to increase teacher pay. A lot of jobs are demanding and a PITA - mine certainly is, but I am relatively highly compensated. Increase the pay for teachers significantly, and more people will be willing to stay in the profession. I find the focus on what teachers are "worth" in terms of the work they do to be off base. It doesn't matter. People were freaking out that managers at some gas station in Georgia were getting paid more than lawyers, but if that is what it takes to get someone willing to do the job, that's how it is. The schools around her have enough staff, certainly they are staffed at a level that ratcheting up teacher pay for recruitment isn't needed[/quote] Not in our district. My son is missing teachers in two subjects and his friends are also missing teachers in multiple different subjects. Where do you live?[/quote]
