Sorry, J.Long, I think you are incorrect that few people want to teach. There are many bright people with core degrees outside of education that would do it at junctures, like motherhood, in their lives if the most of the teacher “training” wasn’t an so inane and deliberately an obstacle. It’s not bad work with benefits for 9 months a year. You can be on a schedule with your own kids with lots of holidays off.
Like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic more money down this unionized rat hole isn’t the answer. The public has bought into the teacher’s union no can do excuses. Why does a first grade teacher get tenure? It’s ridiculous.
It’s a failed public taxpayer funded industry that needs privatized. It couldn’t be any worse.
