only 3.4% of MCPS budget comes from federal government.

A job is a job. A job with some sort of mission (like teaching) is something that is probably attractive to fed employees who have already accepted lower salaries for a mission.

You don't get it. Tax revenues for Montgomery County are going to crater. Just watch the unemployment numbers in a couple of months. Then the housing market will crash and the foreclosures will start. People will leave the area. MCPS will lay off the last people the hired first. I would not recommend anybody invest time and resources to get change careers and get certified as a teacher on the expectation of being employed in this area.

yiiiiikes. Look, I don't think that anything that's happening is good, but people are going to be unemployed, and they need to find jobs even in the near term. School districts often have programs that enable people with BAs to do on-the-job training, and there is a teacher shortage.

You're offering bad advice. Education funding is reliant on the local economy. Telling people to invest money, time and energy to become teachers only to get laid off shortly afterwards is dumb. If someone thinks teaching would be a good fit for them in the longer term sure, maybe if they can't stay in the area they could find a teaching job somewhere else. But people could change to any number of careers somewhere else.

well if they are going to be priced out of the area anyway, might as well get a teaching certificate in the meantime. they can take the skills with them.

What other careers can you think of that are in high demand and have a national shortfall, that would provide a middle-class income? trust that feds are looking for these now.

Are you for real? The only reason Montgomery County exists as a thing is because it's next to Washington DC. Marriott isn't going to save the county.

I have a PhD in engineering and would never teach your degenerate crotch demons. I'd rather work at Costco. Your kids lack any semblance of discipline. I'd probably fired on Day 1 anyway for smashing their cellphone they were using during class. Even if I made it to month 6, I'd probably be fired for giving them a real math test that'd expose how terrible they really are, and I'd have zero qualms about giving entire classes Fs and making them repeat grades.

but tell us how you really feel.
