I don't think I have it in me to go back to the classroom, I love the autonomy and the ability to be a bit more creative.
I've also been encouraged to apply to a virtual school in a northern state. Union protection, which we don't have down here. It would pay me 15-18k more than I am making now. I'll be speaking to someone as early as next week.
*I read a stat last week-in 2012, Pennsylvania had close to 16k newly licensed teachers. In 2021 there were only 4500. There isn't anyone to fill these openings, and specialized positions like the one I'm in only want teachers with 6-8 years of experience.
What school?

a great supply of new teachers, huh?
ok let's break this down. even if we have enough new teachers to cover all the positions, you don't think it's a problem to lose so many experienced ones?
The people in power are passionately dedicated to this broken system. The last thing they want is its demise.
How else are you going to produce people with no logic or reasoning skills who believe that just because they are shouting the loudest, they are right.

Current teacher here: there is not a great—or even passable— supply of new teachers.
low supply and low quality/low experience

No, a master’s degree is not required to teach in VA. I’ve never heard of that being a requirement in any state. It would create such a barrier to the profession given the educational cost in comparison to teacher pay.
Well then you don't get out much. It's been a requirement in NYS for decades.
Extremely high property taxes there
Sure but you get what you pay for. Much better schools. Much better teachers.
Check out spending on education in NYS vs VA.
There was better pay, better health insurance and better benefits because of the Union but the quality of teachers and education wasn’t different. - NY teacher who now lives and works in VA
I see big differences.
Parent who moved from NY to VA and has seen public ed in both states.
