Global Teacher Shortage Alert:
The UN reports that countries need 44 million more primary and secondary teachers by 2030 to meet demand, amid rising attrition and fewer new entrants into the profession.

Would raising salaries alone be enough to solve teacher shortages?

[Pam L @redheadlang]

@FoxNews Well of course they did. The entire four years was a lie!! Lie after lie after lie. That’s what evil people do.

@SenWarren is a habitual liar.

Since its establishment on May 4, 1980, the Department of Education has consistently undermined every student's opportunity for a quality education, a claim substantiated by extensive government data.

The argument for abolishing the Department of Education is compelling: over 70% of parents of general education students and 94% of parents of children with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) know that government-run public schools fail to provide effective instruction, leaving most students underserved and functionally illiterate.

Marxist ideologies and union priorities have overshadowed high standards, rigorous expectations, and direct, explicit teaching of reading, writing, mathematics, science, history, civics, et al. academic instruction since 1980.

"The average low-income California fourth grader is a full year behind their counterpart in Mississippi."

I’m glad to see Claude Goldenberg saying it plainly.

@ReallyAmerican1 That someone was his granddaughter, you scumbag. Careful, your hatred is slipping out.

The trouble with having Mississippi as THE standard-bearer for state reading reform is that some people don’t buy it, just because it’s Mississippi.

I sat in a restaurant in Brooklyn last night, telling a table full of new acquaintances – two of whom listened to @ehanford’s Sold a Story – about Mississippi and the Southern Surge.

They were fascinated. They had questions about why this work isn’t happening in NY.

But one guy kept shaking his head. “Mississippi. It’s just hard to believe.”

Friends, that is why we must talk about Louisiana, Tennessee, and Alabama.

Some people simply won’t embrace a one-state “miracle” as their model. However, a four-state pattern is hard to deny.

“Every student has the right to an education.”

Okay. But also…

No student has the right to make a school unsafe. If they bring violence, threats, or weapons, they don’t need a “restorative plan.”

They need to be shown the exit. Put them in online school. Find an alt ed program. Give them a chance at an apprenticeship.

But don’t let them ruin the education of the other kids in the school.

@Riley_Gaines_ The irony of stating that “God doesn’t make mistakes”. He makes us all male and female…no mistakes.

[Pam L @redheadlang]

@rshereme He called them that bc the protesters were following them and scaring the poor child. Stop making this political for clicks to stroke your ego. You are disgusting.

@DyslexiaTrainer *schools, not school’s.

Sorry, not sorry.

[James A. Furey @JamesAFurey]

If a school’s discipline numbers are improving but behavior is getting worse, that’s not reform, it’s fraud.
