Meanwhile, American schools are struggling to hire anyone with at least a high school diploma and a two week teaching course, because nobody wants to accept the awful pay and working conditions.
Historically, one of the soft benefits of being a teacher was that you could find work anywhere. Basically, if your partner is the breadwinner, you can be a teacher. Because if their job required you to suddenly pack up and move across the country, you’d be able to find work wherever you moved. Everywhere needs teachers, after all.
But things have shifted, and teachers are increasingly choosing to leave their field whenever that scenario happens. Gotta pack up and move across the country? Cool, I’m taking this as an opportunity to get out of teaching.
