Attrition up 2% from average. For FY 21-22, TX teacher employment at an all time high.

I guess no one wants to work any more

Here's an idea: pay them

Lotta kids have subs for teacher this year. Lotta parents don’t care. It was never about education. THEY WANT PUBLIC BABYSITTING

When my mom got her teaching job in 1991, there were 800 applicants per vacancy (Elementary education, central PA). This is shameful.

Here in Maldives, we just increased teachers pay by like a lot.
Dlebful
While it isn't true across the state, my brother is a teacher in Minneapolis making 6 figures and has good support. No mass vacancies.
oakleaves
This motivated me to email my state education department to find out what I need to do to renew my teaching credentials.

I'm tech support for a mid sized district. Absorbed 2 full jobs now with no pay increase. Considering going back to the private sector.
TA2019
They're not doing this to extort teachers. They're doing it to bring back the uneducated population. You played right into their hands.
mc900fthanna
I wonder what will happen when they use laws to tell Dr.s how to take care of women?

Columbus ohio just had a strike by teachers that took a whole 14 hours to get fixed

Sadly the death of public education is the end game for the GOP so this is still a win for them.

Does anyone know where this is from? She looks familiar as hell, but I can't place it.

It's what they want. They want to have an "emergency" hire unqualified people to "teach" and burn the whole thing down with your kids inside
peggleforscale
Pay, politicians accusing you of stuff, and let’s not forget some parents are shit people and raise their kids accordingly.
n0n53n53
Republicans have always been anti-public education, but they started an all out war against it in 2021. It's gonna get worse
ParkRangerJohn
I don't have a teaching license, however I got a job as a CTE teacher 2 days before I graduated college. Easiest interview of my life.
Strangedays2024
I was updating my sub information at the county office, just to pick up some extra pay. I've had 4 schools offer full-time, only one of1/2
thingssomeonesays
Sub here, also starting full-time on Monday.
Strangedays2024
Which would have been 100% legal since my license has lapsed. The admin basically said we'll worry about the paperwork later. Its crazy.2/2
redstaterefugee
This was their goal. It justifies funneling more tax money to private, religious schools.
KillingTlme
It actually doesn't. It justifies increasing teacher pay
AranaDiscoteca
Neat. So they have more workers who can't show up or who have to ask to work from home because they can't afford childcare. More offices go
AranaDiscoteca
empty because people can't afford it -- people can't even really afford daycare NOW. Imagine if that's all the way through schooling.
Painguin
I'm 90% sure they are running on the illusion that robots will do every job in the next 5 years.
procrastinatingagain
Who would ever teach in any of those communities.
aspensmonster
Is Cy-Fair bad now? I spent my childhood days in Cy-Fair ISD schools and don't recall it being horrible. But that was decades ago.

Texas schools ban books and TX is a terrible state for women to live in.

You must not be from Houston cause Fort Bend isn't bad at all.

As a Houston resident, I encourage everyone here to flee. It is hell. No exceptions.

It's in Texas. Best of the worst is still the worst

Texas was the No. 2 U-Haul Growth State in 2020. Hmmm I wonder why. (BTW I'm not republican)

Any Republican that says they want to abolish the department of education is lying. It can't be looted if it's abolished.
Grinch01
I know someone quiting in a public school and starting at a privat one, he got nearly 40% more pay and way better Equipment with nicer stude
Arsikere
hm. it's like defunding leads to privatization and dissolution of accountability
CosplayComet
Crraaaaaaaaaazy!!
Hurch
Exactly like what's happened with privatized correctional facilities. Some things should be managed by our government, and not "for profit"
SugarSmack
It works two fold. They keep the populace uneducated & impoverished for knowledge while also setting themselves up for profitable cash grab.
L1ttl3J1m
Well, that, and the way despots love the uneducated...
FirstInLastOut
Then they can really control you
workoutplan
It's happening in the UK with our public health service. The right have defunded it for the past 12 years, bringing it to breaking point and
workoutplan
with the final goal of pushing it private to model the US system.
AscensionGames
Oh longer than that. And New Labour put in the biggest policy push to let that happen too.
AscensionGames
Not saying "both sides." Saying if you only support the "leftist" parties when they have Thatcherite candidates you get rightist policy.
thisiswhyicanthaveanythingnice
Can you imagine the type of teachers an curriculum in those schools. Ugh.
itsthevoiceman
Like a tenured professor at college who makes you buy their $100+ book for the course.
Sinisfun
Don't really need to , it's what the Nazis did
kilgoth1
NOT teachers. Fundamentalists to push an agenda- which is what they blame teachers for doing.
Goldensands
The self aggrandising filth with its oath of indoctrination is bad enough, but they will whitewash the shit out of all human history 2
CosplayComet
If the Right gets their way, we won't have to imagine...
thorboy86
Watch the documentary 'Waiting for Superman'. It explains the teachers unions hold back education, the only way around was charter schools >
thorboy86
I don't think it's just about privatization, I think it is trying to not educate the populace. Keep them dumb so they can be manipulated.
TheFutureIsShitJustLikeThePast
Don’t mock Teachers unions on Imgur. They will attack you. Apparently wanting better education is against Imgur values.
DriverIRQnotlessOrEqual
With the way Florida charters are banning the LGBT+ community from enrolling and segregating classes, it’s very easy to imagine.

That's not imagination, just observation.

Can’t tell you how many kids came out to me and my colleagues when I was still teaching. We gave them a safe space to be themselves.
GreesyNyuk
This is the opposite of a good thing. This will be used as proof by R's that public education should be cut even further.

heartlessninja6
“Starve the Beast” strategy works well.
AnythingMuchShorter
Literally any outcome would be used as proof by them that education should be cut further.
BluePeaSoup
It’s sad because it definitely doesn’t have to be that way… one of my best friends is a teacher in Corona, CA and she makes 6 figures.
mthrndr01
Places that value education pay pretty ok. Unfortunately that's not really a majority of locales.

astrobio87
Can we do the same for military ops? Not accomplishing your goal - lost air support for you! (GOP logic is just awful when applied anywhere)
astrobio87
Sadly though, you are correct about this.
pianostacatto
Regardless, it would have to affect all states majorly for Repubs to even begin making any sort of farce out of it all.
pianostacatto
Because if somewhere in the US exists at the very least a single county within a state that is operating optimally and effectively, Repubs
pianostacatto
will lose any influence or chance of turning this into something else. Democrats would easily be able to weaponize such an example.
storebrandproductmascot
And as a fake crisis that will inspire them to pass bills that let pastors be public school teachers.
AranaDiscoteca
None of that matters. You can put whoever you want in a classroom as a stopgap but as we learned from the National Guard... they don't stay.
storebrandproductmascot
I feel like you're referencing an event I'm not familiar with, or have forgotten. What is it?
AranaDiscoteca
When the National Guard was deployed to New Mexico schools; notoriously one hid in the closet from the kindergarten students from stress.
storebrandproductmascot
Oh, the shooting! I wouldn't have guessed that.
AranaDiscoteca
Except now they don't get their free daycare for their workers. And people who don't DESPERATELY want to teach don't last long.
AranaDiscoteca
It's going to be like during the pandemic X100. Look at the situation with all the for-pay preschools - we don't have that many grandparents
AranaDiscoteca
That may be the goal but the way our system is set up, it absolutely cannot ACTUALLY handle that cross-over because workers have kids.
StarscreamAndHutch
Put the kids to work too. Thats the point. Cruelty and increase the uneducated working and fighting surplus of humans.
itsthevoiceman
Can't forget about the military! Gotta give kids a reason to join when they're done with high school.
AranaDiscoteca
Though the middle class is continually shrinking it still exists. You'd have to re-write a whole white collar parent paradigm.
AranaDiscoteca
You might be able to convince the soccer mom set this should happen to poor POC. But... the soccer mom set is struggling with childcare, too
AranaDiscoteca
People will stop having children to an even greater extent because it's not affordable to do so. Then we have a horrible collapse.
