Agreed with Bulldogs.... so many people are double dipping and making all kinds of money when you have recent college grads that can’t find a job because people who are already drawing a pension can come back and make boat loads of money and the majority of them aren’t effective in their jobs. Education has changed ALOT even since I’ve been out of college, can you imagine what they were taught 30+ years ago?

College grads aren’t going into education. Talk to some people in your school district that do the hiring. It will blow your mind.

I know of a district that had/has a PE opening after the first 9 weeks and they were hoping to find somebody to fill it; even called to one of our major universities in the state to get an idea on the number of those who had recently graduated in the Spring and/or Summer or 2017 with PE/Health credentials and teaching rights......know how many that was? ONE.

Young people ARE not going into education; that’s the issue. With this new system it’s going to be even less.

The number of young people not going into Education is one of the reasons why they are hiring some of these 100 day contracted “retired” teachers. From my experiences they are MAGNIFICENT hires; they are giving those who have tons of experience something to do 2-3 Days a week.

I don’t know about you, but if I just had to work/go all out 2-3 Days a week for 9 months a year; I’d be through the roof with energy and effectiveness.

These 100 day people are golden in my book. School systems are going to miss them; especially at the current rate (or lack thereof) of those not going into Education.
