    You can trust when I say, if it wasn’t so well known that educators get the raw deal right now, there would be way more teachers. I for one, thought about being a teacher and still do. But the terrible pay, the lack of funding… really detured me and I’m sure a bunch of folks away. I know people who actively suggest people away from going into teaching, because they don’t want to see the person just struggle and watch their passion die.

    It’s not a problem of finding the supply (teachers), it’s about creating the demand (way better pay and working conditions)
