We never layoff politicians.
good point!
Exactly, the most worthless souls.
Yes you do when you vote 'em out/ sue
@@Heyu7her3not the same
With a lay off it's now
With voting it's however many months or years later
So no that's not laying them off
@@Heyu7her3 *Whoosh
Not even close to the same.
If we, lets say cut congress down to 50, and eliminated the Presidency and Vice Presidency... Then you would be on the same page.
"Voting someone out" does not eliminate the job.
Hope that clears up your confusion.
There is not a shortage of teachers. Just a shortage of people who refuse to be abused by students, parents, and administrators.
Exactly... Why put up with being treated like trash while volunteering your time to help the future of the country, when you can make twice as much at Home Depot and have respect.
Damn right.
Exactly why I’m probably going to leave the profession
Pay me enough and I'll deal with it. People are realizing the stress is absolutely not worth the money.
It's easier to have another job that pays the same and you're not required to work outside your schedule time. That time could be used for another job.
Being a teacher is like having two jobs but only being paid for one.
Tbf school is pretty useless most people dont really leran anything
We have money for wars but no money for the teachers or children
Yes, billions of aid to be sent to Israel & Ukraine
@BencerCourt123 and we have billions for schools, take 1 guess which political party opposes funding education...
That’s because education disincentivizes war. Can’t have that when war makes America rich.
That’s why they’re doing it, trying to push people to join the military knowing what’s around the corner.
@@BencerCourt123and the worst part is that Israel has universal healthcare FUNDED BY OUR TAX DOLLARS. They tell us we can’t have universal healthcare here but are happy to use our money to give it to a genocidal country.
Because the U.S. values every single thing else except children and their education 😢
Population declining, closures to accelerate and continue for several decades.
Forcing kids to have kids but doing nothing to educate the kids of the kids. Backwards.
The left says having children is right wing. Question? Should children ever have access to sexually EXPLICIT material at school provided to them by the school? Yes or no will be just fine.
99% of student are not ready for employment or are employable to begin with. That should be the goal of all teachers, employable
@@Shadowbanned4Lyfein my humble opinion separating left from right when they’re both part of the same root is ludicrous. Just another mechanism to separate human beings.
Layoffs when there are already not enough teachers… makes zero sense.
Not all of them are qualified.
@@x-men69-96 Which locations in the US pay enough to attract qualified people?
There are way too many worthless teachers if anything
@@richardsteiner8992 or bc they can't find a job. That's why they go for teaching. I learn it from my own eyes
@@x-men69-96You gotta get a degree to teach. 4 years is a long time to commit solely because you can't find a job.
Richest country in the world, can’t pay their teachers…. There is nothing to say….
We could pay the teachers, but chose to send billions more money to other countries to wage war.
Also sports players earn more than most.....
Imagine playing baseball earns you more than teaching...
We pay teachers too much already
@@LvL_99_Red_Chocobo yea, like Israel.
15k yearly spent per US student. But homeschool families aren't allowed to touch any of that. 😢
Substitute teachers with college degrees in Florida get paid $15 an hour. The same as people at gas stations who dont have college degrees.
That's bad. What exactly does the substitute teacher do. I am from India, in my state wb , there are three types of schools teachers. Private school teachers, government school permanent teachers(who passed staff selection committee exams) and government school temp/para teachers(They are selected by schools depending on their degree or experience). The temp government teachers earn 1/4 of what permanent teachers get. On top of that no retirement benifit and pension unlike what permanent teachers get.
@SatabdiKundu07 it depends on the person honestly. Some subs go above and beyond. Others do the bare minimum which basically means they just have to sit there and baby sit the kids. Most subs just baby sit and don't teach anything, especially because they aren't getting paid extra. Intern subs are temporary teachers meaning they have full control of the class room, they teach the state curriculum, and write behavior referrals if needed, grade assigned work. They get paid $21 an hour. Also terrible pay but better than $15.
For real, for real? In MN Walmart is hiring cashiers for $16!
That isnt right at all. I work in a lab, and my last job I was getting under 20 an hr in San Diego. Thats with a bachelors degree. Its not fair to us who have a degree. We need to get paid better.
Wow. SMH
All the money goes to those useless “administrators” and their outrageous salary increases.
Closed schools = larger classroom sizes, more behaviors, less teaching, more babysitting smh
Yep
Larger classroom sizes don't mean worse teaching - IF you have discipline in class, students behave and pay attention and try to learn.
It is discipline that is lacking. Between the parents not doing their part and holding their children accountable and preparing them for school, the teachers not getting support from the administration and parents, I don't know. All I can say is it's a perfect storm.
They want this. They want everyone to homeschool. But this will great divide classes and children who are poorer. America is an absolute joke.
@@carolr7823yeah no. I taught 5th with 34 in CA and about died. Switched to small group ESL afterwards. I had “good” students too. It was still a damn circus.
The rich get rich and the poor get poorer. You can bet the schools in upscale communities aren't going to be affected.
Yep nailed it
Vote trump ramaswamy
The rich don’t sent their kids to public school….. this only effects the poor and public school systems unfortunately, those private and charter schools are independently funded
This is what you get when you refuse to tax the 1 percent
Rich people don’t send their children to public schools , the issue of the funding for the public school system
Former teacher here. I’ve been saying this for a decade but the time has never been better than right now.
Every teacher nationwide needs to strike immediately and refuse to return to class until the following demands are met.
1) Pay reflects real hours worked as well as education enforced by a federal law. Currently most teachers make far below minimum wage when salaries are divided by hours worked.
2) The right for teachers to strike becomes protected at the federal level. Currently it’s illegal for teachers to strike in many states.
3) Assaulting a teacher becomes a federal crime. Attacks by students, especially teens, and by parents is the number one reason teachers are leaving the profession. Not just out of fear but out of receiving disabling injuries.
4) Principals and superintendents must work at least 40 hours each school year as a substitute outside their own district. Currently most principals and superintendents have no idea what actually is going on in classrooms.
Teachers, you cannot outwork a broken system. You are in an abusive relationship with your job. If they refuse to stop abusing you, then you have to leave. And they will not stop until you force them to. This is the most powerful voting year in decades. If schools can’t open next school year then the candidates other issues will fall to the side, and they can’t have that. Use your opportunity and power. Or do nothing and go back to your abuser and get what you deserve, because no matter how bad it is for you it’s 10 times worse for your students.
5. Bring back the paddle in elementary schools - Lol that will fix the little brats.
@@Aaron_R I used to be a teacher a student in schools that used paddles. It’s the least effective deterrent. Most kids brag about it. Nobody brags about sitting alone eating lunch with the teachers.
@@Aaron_R It's been proven time and time again that corporal punishment doesn't do anything to fix problems. It's been shown in psychological and sociological studies. This isn't something to be happy or "lol" about, you need help. If anything it creates bitter kids who are more likely to lie about something if they think it'll bring about physical pain.
💯💯💯
And having supplies paid for instead of out of their own pocket.
Layoff the politicians not the teachers.

When property taxes are at an all time high with more revenue and we couldn’t pay teachers?
Who is EMBEZZLING all the tax dollars!?
Speaking as a teacher funds are being misappropriated and funneled out of the school system from the people that work in administration at the very top. We’re talking superintendents and all their lackies. Even down to the principals. It’s very common practice. Some even go so far as to steal teacher bonuses that are awarded by state agencies. It’s a dirty, dirty game.
Well, if you're laying off people in the schools, then my property taxes should be cut ✂️ 🙄
That's not how that works... The subsidies for oil and gas industries get your taxes, not the teachers.
We treat our teachers poorly on every level!!
A lot of teachers treat children poorly also
Your socialist teachers and education system treats everybody that has gone through it poorly and robs everybody that pays for this trash system and worthless teachers.
@@Wildman-zh8lgin Massachusetts the schools are very good and teachers are better paid, not sure if it’s well paid, but better at least. A teacher maxes out at $85k, with raises each year and accelerated with continuing education, a master’s degree (required after 5 years), and doctorate degrees.
@@0IIIIII ok
@0IIIIII 85k max out with a masters degree requirement. Also, with a phd?!?!?! Thats insane!
I suspect most school districts could save money by cutting their number of administrators.
Bingo!
Or politicians salary
Not only administrators, there are literally thousands of administrative positions and other desk jobs in the district offices. School districts literally have shadow departments and people you never heard of who are getting paid six figure salaries to be sitting in a desk reading emails. In School Districts, there is also a duplicate position for every office job who is on reserve in case the other person leaves, meaning that that person is getting paid to sit around until the other person quits, gets, fire, goes on sick leave, retires, or dies.
@jacqueslee2592 how do apply for one of these jobs?
In the 80s my high school had one principal, one vice principal, etc. Now there is one each per grade! Less adminstrators, more TEACHERS!!
Seriously? Teachers are the last profession that need layoffs, this country truly doesn’t give a damn about education
What are you talking about?
Schools need to be shut down permanently all across the US.
One of my son's teachers declared that he's done;
it's the students and parents causing him heartache.
He proclaimed he'd prefer a career at Walmart or Target!
Because teachers are quitting because it’s not respected profession anymore. Students are brats and their parents aren’t any better.
Concise, and sadly, very true.
your point being????
@@Slimedog1963 unfortunately that’s the point.
You ignored the whole lack of pay part. Having to buy their own classroom materials. Both have an impact
@@corvus8638this is true also. My wife claims that tax deduction every year
Nobody wants to teach in these horrendous environments. Nobody.
It really bad to be a teacher. Too many single mother households.
Yup if I had children I would move to a tiny town, or home school them. I used to do IT contracts for schools. They have become chaotic shitholes. These kids all act like thugs now. I couldnt imagine having to go to one of these schools today. I feel horrible for kids.
She don't need no man.
Or even put their kids into them
AND the cause of these environments is lack of funding!
No amount of money can change the fact that there's no solidarity between teachers, students, parents, and admins.
Which is nuts because there’s a super duper obvious guiding light they should follow: what’s best for the students.
But no. It’s what’s best for admin/schools/politics and teachers. Students are the last ones thought about.
ya well look at these comments. people calling students names. attacking people's parenting styles. why would we teach our kids to respect people that $hit on them and us constantly. teachers dish it and then can't take it back..if they are gonna attack people they shouldn't be surprised when people act defensive.
Teachers are the last ones thought about. @@markislivingdeliberately
We have billions for Ukraine and Israel but not our teachers to teach our children. Sickening.
I'm sorry, WHAT????? All I've heard is about lately is how we are short on teachers. Now they're laying some off??? The world never makes much sense....
The US population has largely plateuted and would be declining if not for immigration. People simply can't afford kids.
Schools in less popular regions are starting to see the initial effects of the child population collapse. Cities otoh are as packed and short on teachers as ever.
Teachers can't afford to live in the cities on their salaries, hence less and less teachers around. We might all as well become prostitutes.
@@MessyPointedBlob that-s evidence of families moving away from rural areas
People are beginning to realize schooling is not essential. Jobs don’t require cerebral skills in 2024. Just practical ones
@@MessyPointedBlobThat's about what I figured, the layoffs at first sound counterintuitive especially in light of complaints related to teacher shortages. Until you remember that the US population is stagnating growth rise. Places like Japan has already experienced thousands of school closures for the past two decades because of low birthrates. Same might heading this way too.
USA: we have teacher storage
USA: layoffs school staff including teachers
Yup
Makes total sense so me
I mean I am a product of the education system in question
And this adds up to me
🤪
The Rich just want their tax breaks. They'll never see the issue or understand. We should do what Finland did and ban private schools. Guess what, all schools were magically funded and their teachers wages went way up.
When you force the rich to go to public schools, that's when they give a damn.
Technically this is about five states
@@corvus8638 a lot of districts could follow soon only a matter of time
They want to lay off then rehire for cheaper salaries
Homeschooling is skyrocketing due to fears of our kids being killed at school.😢 even my husband wants to homeschool but we both work so 🤷🏼♀️
That is indeed a problem. But the gun huggers won't listen to any reason around the ownership and more stringent requirements over owning weapons.
Find a microschool
Shame on Tampa Bay, Florida!! With soaring property taxes there is no excuse.
So why are we giving 95 billion to Ukrain and not to our own citizens who are in severe need like teachers who deserve more
Technically 60 billion to Ukraine. 30 billion was to Israel and Taiwan. But, yes, we need to walk and chew gum here and do both
The 2 things aren’t related. You should be asking: why are we giving billion dollar corporations tax cuts and subsidies, with the majority of their workforce on government assistance?
THOSE things have happened and will continue to happen in the future. Aid to stop Russia from invading Europe and requiring US troops in Europe? That is a temporary expense that has a larger ROI.
Russia isn't invading Europe.@@leohorishny9561
and Israel...
@@leohorishny9561Russia invading Europe?
I always wondered why administration jobs are never cut? These are high-dollar positions and often overlap.
Because you don’t want a brain drain. If in doubt, keep the smartest around
Overpaid Superintendents! I remember when I was in high school we had one superintendent and one principal. Now they have multiple assistant superintendents and multiple assistant principals. That’s too much Administration!!
@@Bob12022 Superintendents are not the smartest. They are just the most educated with the most degrees. I’m a former teacher and have friends that work in my state’s department of education. Between us we’ve seen over a dozen superintendents fined, “fired,” and even arrested over gross incompetence. Due to how their contracts worked they kept getting paid full salary for the length of their contracts after termination and while in prison.
The vast majority of superintendents have less than 5 years teaching experience, and that’s usually from decades ago. They are often the most ignorant of what’s going on in classrooms and how to manage schools. Their job first and foremost is carrying out the demands of their bosses which are the local politicians on the school board, not to support teachers.
@@Bob12022if they didn’t want a “brain drain” they would pay the teachers more to educate more students, seems to me like it’s the opposite
For the schools that are closing, that will probably include administration jobs. But overall, yeah, you're right.
WE had over 30 kids in a classroom growing up in the 70s. We were able to learn and graduate. We also had moms who would volunteer in the classrooms.
Kids nowadays have no respect for teachers. So how much more time will be wasted trying to keep the kids behaved?
@psychosanity8164 teachers have been saying that since the 90s, but supposedly THIS time it's true. grow a brain cell 🙄
I'm a teacher. I'm leaving the profession after 12 years because of three reasons:
1. I can make more more money in almost any other field.
2. School Districts refuse to address student behavior specifically around cellphones and truancy.
3. Learning in American public schools is not a priority. It entirely about babysitting. Rigor is a dirty word and consequence is down right profanity.
It's heartbreaking. I deeply, deeply loved teaching, but the distinct lack of leadership at the district level, the utter lack engagement at the student level, and the total lack of hope that I have for the profession are just too much.
But let’s give 95 billion to other countries
Most of that money goes to us defence contractors.
@@misterfunnyboneswhich came from tax payers money. Giving yourself work doesn't increase profit. If i own a shoes store and i order 100 shoes using my own money. Im working and have orders yes but im not making profit.
@@hawkeyemihawkgettingmoneylord check the list of major shareholders...it's a rigged game.
First you get rid of library books, then you get rid of teachers, then you get rid of schools, and that’s good for the nation?
That could be the point of it -- keep America stupid and in low-paying jobs so the rich can control others and get richer.
It's good for the right wingers. Uneducated people are their base and the less educated someone is, the more likely they are to vote right wing.
So glad my daughter in law is home schooling. Teachers cannot have 34 kids in a classroom.
And I’m glad I was in public school
We NEED teachers, it's really disheartening to see teachers get treated so poorly and then they (not the teachers) wonder why there's not enough teachers. Teaching should be seen as very important just like how doctors are important. Our education system is crumbling right before us...
I taught school 40 years, all grades. No one can teach 34 kindergarten students in one class.
One year I had 26 kindergarten students, it was like herding cats! Not all of them speak English, some of them have never even been inside a classroom, clearly some of them were raised to be physically abusive. It was awful. I gave up the profession in 2016. You’re definitely not paid enough to put up with all the garbage, not to mention unnecessary piles of paperwork required by administration. I’m surprised more teachers haven’t retired early by now.
@@debrakelly4505 "Some of them have never even been inside a classroom". Uhhh they're kindergarteners. That often IS a lot of peoples' first time in a classroom.
If people care so much about their children, why are our schools so chronically underfunded???
Because people don’t fund schools, the government does.
Many parents don't care about their children. They care about how much CONTROL they have over their children. Those are totally different things. The ones more interested in control sure do confuse the two a lot though. That's why they talk about how much they love their children but their actions don't reflect that.
They're not. The educational system is loaded with cash. It's just not used to fund education.
They don’t care. They see school as “daycare” not education.
@@anabelled4459 yep. School exists so that both parents can work full time and get half the compensation
They refuse to pay teachers more so they decided to lay them off 🤦🏻
18,000 teachers leave FL per year! It’s unsustainable. Online teaching doesn’t work bc students have questions that are unanswered! No extra help. No suggested reading.
Parents need to start teaching their kids again. Public schools have failed.
Our country is a mess 😮💨🤦🏼♂️. Something has to change.
Exactly why we must end maga, tax the rich and churches and invest in our young!
Vote blue….if it’s not too late.
you wont do anything about it
This isn't a national problem. Schools in some states are radically different from schools in other states.
Ant yet the people here in US are worried about other countries than themselves
Vote out all the current incumbents, put the fear of the people back into politics, they are way to comfortable with their corruption. That’s really all we can do at this point besides a revolution to restore our government back to one of the people by the people for the people.
I remember when in highschool. My senior year we got a $30+ million gym for our POS foot ball team. The following year they fired all the new teachers.
Little’s changed. Gotta follow what cities do to subsidize sports teams owned by billionaire ne’er do wells.
so?
Also part of the reason as well. In major sports leagues these players will earn millions catching a ball, but then people will balk at teachers getting paid more or retiring with pensions. A country captures by breads and circuses
So if they close the schools, that’s a higher ratio! And more lawsuits! I walked out when the system increased my class to 25 Special Needs Students(my babies tho) and an assistant, they also took my other staff.
25 Special Needs Students, 1 teacher, 1 TA is ABSOLUTELY ILLEGAL! So I have to assist all the girls for a week in the restroom every month( they stopped purchasing gloves, aprons and disinfectant spray so I had to get my own), I also went through almost every school day without using the restroom or eating b/c I also had to sit and hand feed multiple children, ohhh and that was only breakfast and lunch. I taught my babies in between… not to mention that I had to reclean & disinfect often to keep everyone safe.
Sooo yeah… I quit! I can love those babies from a distance and I gave the parents my number because I loved them so much!
All of this was before these “ Layoffs”, that was a regular year.
But do y’all… school boards… Do y’all!
I suggested that the school board members come assist me since they weren’t doing anything else.
Yet we have money for Israel and Ukraine. Fkng BS😡
Any of them letting administrators go?
Haha that’s a good one
What they need to do is lay off administrative staff.
Retired HVAC guy here that now works for a high school full time as a custodian/maintenance guy. I have to say after working at this school for 7 years the custodians are causing there own layoffs and overtime cuts I’ve watched happen over the years just stupid stuff like finishing there work load to fast just to leave early all the time or turning down overtime constantly to the point they hired part time help. I’m just happy I’ll never have to worry about getting let go cause I do stuff that saves them money like changing all the filters on the HVAC rooftop units also servicing them and in the summer I do other maintenance handy type work that the other custodians turn down cause they are not mechanically inclined or say they don’t get paid enough to do that but then they complain when people don’t get overtime.
It’s more support staff layoffs than teacher layoffs. When time are tough the support staff always go first.
34 children in your room and maybe half of them speak English right now. This is insane. What the hell is happening in America?
Economic potential was prioritized over family values ...in other word half the population want more stuff not more dependent's plus to many people cried when jobs were leaving u.s to go where the people are but what we have now is mass immigration to replace about 34 million boomers but from what I've read the ununited states will keep the population around 300-350 million human doings. Hence the massive male only immigration.
@@otishaag987 Where is this info? I'm trying to understand if they're importing people for a purpose (other than votes) and I think we can be safe that the outcome will unknown, but not a positive one.
They expect the teachers to take extra classes- ESOL-on their own time and on their own dime, and if they do not complete the required six college level classes , they lose their job. And still students don’t have to learn to speak English!

Federal role in education
As for the federal government’s role, education is not specifically addressed in the Constitution, but a historical precedent of central government involvement does exist.
In 1787, the Continental Congress, the central government of the United States between 1776 and 1787, passed the Northwest Ordinance, which became the governing document for Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.
The ordinance included a provision encouraging the creation of schools as a key component of “good government and the happiness of mankind.” Just two years earlier, the Land Ordinance of 1785 required land to be reserved in townships for the building of schools.
The role of the federal government in general grew much larger after the Great Depression and World War II, but this growth largely excluded K-12 education until the 1960s. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson included education policy in his vision of a “Great Society.”
Elementary and Secondary Education Act
In 1965, President Johnson signed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) into law. This law decidedly changed the role of the federal government in the world of K-12 education.
ESEA doubled the amount of federal expenditures for K-12 education, worked to change the relationship between states and the central government in the education arena, called for equal treatment of students no matter where they reside and attempted to improve reading and math competency for children in poverty.
ESEA was passed with the intention of bridging a clear gap between children in poverty and those from privilege. Title I of the ESEA, which is still referenced frequently in K-12 education policy, is a major provision of the bill, which distributed federal funding to districts with low-income families.
People remain poor because of what goes on at home. Not what goes on in the classroom.

Declining enrollment. Parents are voting with their feet. Tons of alternatives to failing public schools. Not sure there’s actually a “teacher shortage” when there’s 1M less kids in public schools across the country, but they like to say that every year when a bond issue comes up for vote.
Our education has been in ruin for some time. The teachers in this country aren't paid a livable wage. Their are too many angry parents who are dictating what can be taught to their students. There's rampant bullying going on at the schools, but the administrators refuse to address it. And of course, the overall cost of college can leave a student in debt for the rest of their lives. Not that degrees do much these days. People with substantial degrees still struggle finding a job. They literally have to go to college twice in some cases.
Doomed united states of America

Vote, election year.
Thank the Boomers, War on Drugs, War on Terror, War on Poverty, etc.
United States been for decades degrading in every aspect.
Yup
I’m 67 and when I was in school there were around 35 kids per class. And not all of us were well behaved. However some kids these days are out of control emotionally with unstable home lives and I really sympathize with the teachers.
That was back in the little House on the Prarie days we in 2024. These kids are Chuckies AND Freddies who can teach them?
thanks for your input boomer..?
if you're 67, then when you were in school there was also corporal punishment and consequences for bad behavior. Now there is no punishment, no consequences from parents (or from the administration) and those 35 kids all have cell phones.
@@Ephi691Don't forget Huggy Wuggy. **Shudder
there were plenty of unstable home lives for us who had hippie boomers become parents. that's not a NEW phenomenon 🙄
Not enough money for schools but enough to fund wars in other countries smh
Laying off teachers while saying they say we need more teachers. Make it make sense🫠
This country needs a wake up call.
Zero admins were hurt in this decision
Being a teacher is not a respected job anymore. Parents and students curse out teachers all the time.
Please, teachers. Take this as a sign that this industry is not for you. They do NOT respect or give a crap about teachers and these districts have been proving it over and over again for YEARS. Don't go back when they decide that they need teachers again. Choose a new profession where you are respected and paid well and don't look back.
Looks like they’re going for online school at home with all these layoffs and schools closing.
Then they better cut our taxes down then
I'm all for that
No administrators are laid off.
So worried about books but can't keep teachers... these children NEED teachers!! How is this happening
Billions to send elsewhere but our schools, healthcare, colleges are in desperate need. Wow.
But they are currently working on building the largest prison in American history in Alabama
What what what
Stand mom
Yet we’re sending Ukraine $95 Billion.
Bottom line it's a business... they don't care about the kids they care about MONEY
Teachers deserve all the respect you can give them .
The current school system is probably becoming obsolete. The behavior of a lot of students today forces teachers to have to be therapists and police officers on top of being teachers. The plan is probably for students to learn remotely 100%.
Well I want my tax money back for a failed system
Or just hire more security & therapists, nursed etc for schools.
= jobs.
Just tax the rich citizens and Corps in states to pay for it
Thst would hurt their kid’s social skills

We don't value education in this country. We don't see it as a long term investment in the public good. Period. Not for K-12 schools and especially not in criminally overpriced higher education. Underfunded teachers, classrooms, and staffing... but somehow the administrators keep the hefty salaries. The US needs to take the blinders off and learn from the successes of other countries. Not reinventing the wheel, but making practical changes that others have already taken. The answers are already known. Not to be pessimistic, but "leadership" has been a joke in this country for years.
34 kindergarten children in one classroom is wild! The US senators and representatives need to do better!
We can dole out all this foreign aid but we can’t take care of own. Can’t fund our schools and can’t help our homeless population. Only in America. Our choices are wrong.
It isn't the federal government's job to keep schools staffed. Most schools are funded by property taxes and now federal COVID aid is going away, the schools have to cut administrative bloat. We do need more teachers, but we don't need more staff that just walks around acting busy.
I doubt you've ever been to a school. If there's anywhere with staff walking around acting busy, it's not schools.
They are if they are an administrator they don't do anything or if they do its overlapped with 2 others@@Liz-wz8dh
So in other words, if you or live in a poor area, you are not going to get the education that you deserve, and therefore the continuous cycle of poverty crime and not being able to help yourself get to the next level. I guarantee you they are not gonna be laying off these teachers in the higher income areas.
Kids are unteachable. They know everything.
Stop sending money abroad. That money needs to go to schools!
Dumb post
Neither the kids today, nor the parents value education. It's nothing but glorified daycare at this point. Taxpayer spending on public education is the biggest waste of money in the federal budget. If parents and kids really want an education, send them to private school and pay for it yourself. I bet they take it seriously then.
@@stevenhenry5267why
You must have been at the bottom of your public school
@@derekd1510
It would be nice if our taxes weren't so high then maybe more people could afford to send their kids to private school or homeschool them
Our schools neednt9 get rid of loser teachers and that's about 80 percent of them.
Poor pay and tons of disrespect from all directions, no wonder places can’t hire or even keep the teachers they have. Money, money, money is always the BS answer in this country!! Money isn’t real!!!
Money is a delusion and capitalism is a cult.
Greed is too strong in America
Teachers make less than minimum wage. This is not a ''greed' issue.
@@07Flash11MRC no if talking about the government of America
The USA isn't doing so well right now 😅
The main issue was that before the pandemic becoming a teacher became too difficult because districts and charter schools made the requirements to become a teacher too difficult for entry-level teachers and then the pay and work culture did not match the requirements. I drop out of my credentialing program because there was no guaranteed position as the school district and charter schools wanted teachers with experience. I did not want to commit. I am glad I left for an IT job and now I am making more money and I never needed a master's not even a degree. The same reason of "you need experience to work an entry level job" is the same reason why there are shortages and companies going out of business because they cannot hire and people are becoming unemployed and so people are not spending.
The issue isnt happening in PA...teachers are unionized and well payed...but...i know a lot of people are against unions....but oh well...good luck making a living working as a teacher in FL
You must not be that bright. San Diego is undergoing hefty layoffs. Something to do with unions I’m afraid
*paid
Not too smart are you?
Lookup Crestwood in Mountain Top, PA.
The socialist unions helped destroy this country.
I thought there was a shortage of teachers?
Federal role in education is important to help individual school districts.
As for the federal government’s role, education is not specifically addressed in the Constitution, but a historical precedent of central government involvement does exist.
In 1787, the Continental Congress, the central government of the United States between 1776 and 1787, passed the Northwest Ordinance, which became the governing document for Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.
The ordinance included a provision encouraging the creation of schools as a key component of “good government and the happiness of mankind.” Just two years earlier, the Land Ordinance of 1785 required land to be reserved in townships for the building of schools.
The role of the federal government in general grew much larger after the Great Depression and World War II, but this growth largely excluded K-12 education until the 1960s. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson included education policy in his vision of a “Great Society.”
Elementary and Secondary Education Act
In 1965, President Johnson signed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) into law. This law decidedly changed the role of the federal government in the world of K-12 education.
ESEA doubled the amount of federal expenditures for K-12 education, worked to change the relationship between states and the central government in the education arena, called for equal treatment of students no matter where they reside and attempted to improve reading and math competency for children in poverty.
ESEA was passed with the intention of bridging a clear gap between children in poverty and those from privilege. Title I of the ESEA, which is still referenced frequently in K-12 education policy, is a major provision of the bill, which distributed federal funding to districts with low-income families.
A shortage of short teachers....
Come on over to homeschooling, guys! No bus drivers/teachers/staff. Soon it's just going to be the kids in the building! Pay teachers & give them smaller classes. You are firing people & closing schools. Why? Education should be a priority for our nations children.
I loved how they tiptoed around real reasons as to why there will be layoffs. They never tell you that politicians are cutting spending in certain areas and sending it to help our defense spending budget. Last year the the budget was $850 billion. We are also expecting to increase the budget again. Seriously, this is so disgraceful we have politicians who aid and abed military stocks rather than the future. All they care about is the future of their pockets. I understand why other nations think our government is a bunch of communists. To be fair, they do kind of have point when we take a look at how we bully other nations with our military into getting what’s best for our own interests.
