There ISN'T a "Teacher Shortage" in the United States

- We only have a "shortage" of teachers who want to be treated like disposable objects.
There are plenty of wonderful and passionate #teachers out there who could be in the classroom educating our youth.
But they aren't there...and neither am I.
Around 3/4 of a million educators have left or retired early since January, 2020. Crippling #mentalhealth issues, #stress, and #burnout have paralyzed the profession.
It is no small wonder why the #transitioningteachers community has grown so large here on LinkedIn and other sites.
Podcasts (like our #breakingthefourthwall podcast I cohost with David), comedy tours, and support groups have sprung up to help teachers leave the public school system.
What we have is a critical #teacherrecruitment and #teacherretention problem...NOT a "shortage."
What can I say?
You reap what you sow.
