Comment on Bernie Sanders Champions 32-Hour Work Week With No Loss in Pay
AhismaMiasma@lemm.ee 9 months agoI work in education, my district is very well funded and had over 1,400 applicants with a smidge over 800 being considered qualified and quality. We only had 82 spots to fill.
There are plenty of good teachers, shortages are due to pay and treatment.

Your last sentence supports my point though. I’m not suggesting that there’s a shortage of good teachers, just stating the fact that it’s difficult to find and retain good teachers.
I come from a family full of teachers and educators and even a superintendent. I’ve witnessed firsthand how public education can chew up and spit out even the most dedicated teachers.
