#education It seems that many public schools are struggling to fill teachers' position!
I have the answer as a retired teacher!
1. Pay the teachers a salary in line with private companies.
2. Stop the ridiculous amount of paperwork by hiring academic secretaries so teachers can teach 100% of the time.
3. Stop the absurd attacks on teachers related to the 'right' pronoun for students. If they were born a boy, use he and vice-versa.
Amen!
@Helveticus A lot of the issues stem from COVID19. The older generation retired before they would have otherwise. This problem will resolve on its own.
Attacking teachers like DeSantis in Florida is a whole other problem. The solution there is voting and accountability.
@Helveticus Or just use the pronouns the student prefers.
