I agree with most of that, but it's not only the right that treats teachers like shit. Many of these struggling schools are in areas run by the left. NYC for instance is pretty much run by Dems and NYS is in the blue column.The shortage is teachers in general. The way the right treats teachers, it's no wonder people don't want to become teachers. Mostly underpaid, have to pay out of pocket for many supplies and they get the "honor" of getting treated like shit from the right. My daughter wanted to become a teacher until she found out all these things and said she didn't want to deal with that so she's working company training instead.
K-12 teachers are way underpaid for what they are responsible for. They basically raise our children for most of the year.
