I Predict a Teacher Shortage


My colleagues and I are predicting a teacher shortage.  I don't know what it's like in your area, but here north of Seattle, we often have substitute jobs that go unfilled.  At our school a maternity leave has been filled with someone without the correct endorsement.

Everywhere I went over spring break, I saw help wanted signs.  More than one employer has told me recently that they are having trouble filling jobs.  As the stress of teaching continues and teachers see other options, I predict we will have more than just substitute jobs going unfilled.

What's it like where you live and work?

    1. I'm sorry to hear that. What part of Louisiana are you from?
