William Crawley, Dean of UWF’s College of Education and Professional Studies, believes the shortage of teachers on the job and students in the classroom can be blamed on the low pay across the State for teachers.

I'm curious - for those of you that have been teachers and worked in other fields, did it feel like there was more suspicion and contempt for women without children in child-centric occupations compared to other jobs? Was there an expectation that since you work with children you must want to have them?

This is just another example of breeders shooting themselves in the foot. They like to blame teachers for everything, expect too much, and now there's a teacher shortage. I wouldn't want to be a teacher for many reasons. I think dealing with brats and breeders would send me to the nuthouse. Kudos for the people here who have done it! You're better than I am.

Most definitely!!! When I complained about the amount of after school paperwork I was told I "shouldn't complain because I didn't have a family to tend to." ! ?!?!?! I guess my husband and mother didn't count as "family!" I ended up retiring a year earlier than scheduled and haven't regretted it for a minute!!

Yes! Some do go into administration or become guidance counselors, but many flee the education field altogether. Math ed people (former HS math teacher, here) often end up at banks and mortgage companies. When I was finishing up undergrad, there were a handful of math ed majors that hated student teaching so vehemently, they took additional courses and graduated with a pure math degree.Quote

The average regular-ed classroom teacher lasts only about four or five years in the field.
When I was a student (I'm 55, so decades ago) I had many unmarried older teachers. When I was in the classroom (2000--2005) the youngest of those teachers were retiring. One told me if she were just starting out, there's no way she'd stay in teaching.Quote

I've gotten some odd looks for sure, but I've also had some teachers pause for a beat, then tell me they can see exactly how that choice would be a smart one for someone going into teaching.

Why a hierarchy with special area teachers at the bottom? It isn't as if they have less education or more time on their hands. Sounds like a big CF designed to turn teachers against each other. Plus the addition of parents who don't parent and flip out when teachers try to have order in their classrooms. Ugh.
