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.

I have found this to be the exact opposite in my area. Too many kids have went into education and in turn have no jobs unless they move.
