OF COURSE we have the biggest “teacher shortage” in American history when there are little to no attempts at fixing major challenges educators face everyday.
The true ‘shortage’ is in attempting to inject the profession with respect and sustainability.

The solution is NOT to make it EASIER to become a teacher.
The solution is to make it MORE DESIRABLE to become a teacher.
I don’t see what’s so hard about this.
Just sitting here thinking about how families already affording sending their kids to private schools will get dollar for dollar tax credits and families barely making it are still going to pay full price for infant and child daycare. No to LB753 #NeLeg
Elementary students should not be taking standardized tests because testing becomes the focus of education instead of learning. We take away their creative genius and excitement of learning, playing, & creating. We develop test takers instead of problem solvers and innovators.
When your response to teachers leaving the profession is to make it easier to become a teacher but not stay a teacher, you’re part of the reason why teachers are leaving in the first place.
