Quite literally, education doesn't pay in the Sunflower State and so attracting more teachers becomes increasingly tougher. Take a look:
Vacant teaching positions increase in Kansas
Kansas public school districts are finding it harder to fill vacant teaching positions this year, even though increased funding allowed many districts to offer higher salaries. A report released this week by the Kansas State Department of Education said 612 teaching positions are vacant this fall - a 19 percent increase from the same time last year.
That means the economy is good.
ReplyDeleteI hear that Justin Adrian just became available.
ReplyDeleteTeaching child that all share an approximate social economic background is easier than teaching a class with well off kids and section 8 kids. Shawnee Mission is being ruined by the influx of poor unsupported at home children.
ReplyDeleteNo surprise since most of the additional dollars go to the high paid administrators and very little used to retain the teachers.
ReplyDeleteTeaching is for those who enjoy getting a daily beating from the kids, parents, administrators and the state education board. And they get to do this job for little money, no supplies, and constant danger from one of their little darlings bringing weapons in the classroom. Who wouldn't want this job?
ReplyDeleteTeachers work 24/7. 24 hours per week, 7 months per year. If they buy their own supplies it’s because want to turn their class into an art project. With their union thugs dominating our legislature and court systems they continue to expand the number of administrators and all retire 10 or 12 years younger than us taxpayers.

This is because you voted Brownback people of Kansas!
ReplyDeleteIf this pisses you off then vote democratic or shut up because it will be more of the same.
