Have you noticed the better the educator the more we ask of them in & out of the classroom?
What other profession are the best employees given more duties & more responsibility with no additional incentive?
The current system exploits the calling & commitment of great teachers
How to stop the teacher shortage:
1. Bring it up in the news constantly as a problem instead of ignoring it.
2. Promote the profession.
3. Stop bashing the profession.
4. Respect teachers.
5. Pay teachers as much as other professions with the same education level.

Today I found out that our admin really doesn’t care about us and our needs, it’s all an act. Asked for a schedule change for next semester for my mental health and was told I need a “mindset shift” 🖕🏻
Wanna hear something sad? I calculated my hourly rate (don’t do this, it will just depress you) and I literally make $15/hour pre tax. WTF I could work a much easier job for that much.
