I spoke with my daughter's high school guidance counselor yesterday. She said that five teachers have quit since September, at that high school alone. Morale is down and there is a teaching shortage. Teachers are being asked to sub for other teachers. My older daughter when through their Future Teachers of America program and they called and offered $25/hr if she would come in and tutor/help out.
Teachers are hurting. If you can, be kind and compassionate.
