US school districts brace for massive teacher layoffs 

Administrative positions have a tendency to cover for themselves whilst leaving their subordinates vulnerable. "Better for them to lose their jobs than us..."

I were thinking the same thing.

Superintendent salary is Crazy

My sister is a grade school teacher, and my sister is a horrible person. I feel sorry for the kids who come in contact with her. But, she managed to retire after 30 years. So had no business being around kids. This is what happens when you don't pay enough....you get some bad apples, clinging on. Edit: I just wanted to burst the bubble on the altruistic, noble status of teachers.

We need more diverse teachers who have no skill and paying them cheaper is better

Nah teachers act like they’re in vulnerable positions, and treat students like crap. I don’t care about these teachers losing their jobs

and let the inmates control the system ?

wont change anything. The literacy rate is still tanking, now people want to pretend that they care about education

Teachers spend 1/3 of their class time on SJW topics and pushing socialism ideas.

Correct me if I’m wrong, different unions. Administrators are protected from striking or being laid off of course they are they make the rules.

Too bad

Excellent point!

@@MattyIcecubes we dont need property taxes for schools

Um no with all this money printing there should be zero need to pay taxes

Most states are in debt and due for an increase in taxes. Poor decisions on pension plans are a big reason but the reality is, they need more funding and we need to do our part and pay the tax.

That’s a dumb argument. The highest paid superintendent in Texas makes $536,775 in a district with 7,697 teachers. If you were to take every dollar the superintendent’s salary and divide it up among all of the teachers, that’s less than $70 per teacher for an entire year. Superintendent’s salary is not causing a teacher pay issue.

​@@traviselrod7803We could be saving half a million for a better one then. He looked well fed and feels so bad about letting even the custodian go! 😂 Give me a break. I would of started with the principals then. You could budget $500,000 by getting rid of those. That way the superintendent can still see his ex wife on the weekends and eat lobster and the school can pay teachers so they can buy their own school supplies! How swell would that be?

@traviselrod7803 you are talking about 1 school district out of tens of thousands around the country. What about the school districts that have only 300 total employees, but the superintendents still make upwards of $250,000. And not to mention all the other higher-ups making bank, to basically do nothing.

@@UPFD91 he stands behind "that's a dumb argument."

@@UPFD91 Firstly, I would like to see where that is happening. But more importantly, let’s take your scenario as fact. Even in your scenario of a superintendent making $250,000 in a district with 300 teachers, if you took every dollar of that money and gave it to the teachers, that is around $833 per year for each teacher, which works out to $70 a month. Does $70 a month solve the teacher pay issue?

Only the colonialist, Kabbalah, kippah, khazar, Michael Rapaport can cadaver: meaning dead body, threaten Joe Biden and get away with it, and nobody says nothing...

That's just an excuse so that districts can employ non-qualified teachers at fire-sale prices. If they claim a shortage they can hire scrubs for minimum wage and save millions for their office furniture and district admin parties.

Yep, this makes no sense

​@mnn1265 wow, you are most likely correct

@@mnn1265no, it’s a deliberate attempt to dismantle public education. Just a continuation of the past 40 years. Especially, the past few years. The holy grail is to have everyone homeschooled, with no interaction with their peers of different backgrounds.

@@davidanalyst671 LOL! First of all I know you're a Troll and Second of all stop trolling .

From a Teacher Now go find an actual life You're welcome !! poor baby

​@@davidanalyst671 everything is propaganda to fucking weirdos I guess

There isn't a shortage of teachers. There's a shortage of students enrolling. Birth decline mean less kids in school. Less kids means less funding. Less funding means less teachers/staff required.

Yeah right. The trucking industry claims to have a driver shortage as well. BS

But people keep voting Democrat regardless. Not saying Republicans are any better at this point in time. They've become one behind the scenes. It's all smoke and mirrors. Don't vote for a party anymore- vote for a True and Just person who is actually looking out for your and our Nation's best interests.

They give all to other countries and illegal migrants

Meanwhile you dont want charter schools

Keep voting Republican and let the rich get all the tax breaks while we (middle class and poor) are overburdened with taxation, clown.

@@chiquita683where did anyone say that in that comment. It says “Our government costs too much and delivers too little.” Nowhere is the word “charter school” written.

The real shame is that it's not a priority to parents. Parents aren't involved, and rely on the school system to teach Their children the Basic tasks of How To Be A Responsible, Decent Human Being.

It is a set up for a dystopian future. Only the elites and their children will have what they need

​@@truthseeker6370A lot of them can't be. In this economy, working 2 to even 3 jobs can become a norm. Homeschooling just wouldn't be possible. N not too mention the single parent households with widows or where one parent is in the service.

The shame is their failure to educate and chose to indoctrinate. Home school or get a voucher for private schools who won’t pump sexually charged materials to your kids.

All the COVID money is ending in June. Now you know why all the layoffs

Teachers are liars. They claimed there was a teacher shortage and overworked, while also claiming fewer students were enrolled. They just want more money for being glorified babysitters to "work" 180 days a year and get a pension. Those days are over. The smart kids will do just fine.

Well said and very true. All they do is campaign. Dead weight.

Going from socialism to more socialism. That’s the answer!

@@cockyhemi-123 WTF are you talking about,?

Offer to let the superintendent keep their job for a $720,000 salary reduction (that would be $80,000 a year, still enough money to support a family in most areas). If they actually care about the students they'll accept it

Yes the test scores are bad they should lay off all of them and restart

That’s just your opinion, dumbo.

They are not cutting education, the decent people removed their children. There's no work for them. Democrats adgenda,s

Meanwhile student test scores are abysmal

Cutting lifetime pensions teachers get. LOL

you're paying glorified babysitters to "work" 180 days a year and get a pension. The districts can't raise taxes anymore. They need to balance what they have.

Not really. They haven’t been learning anything but to be good little slaves in the coming New World Order.

Money is not the problem. Washington DC's Department of Education is the problem. Too much of these woke agendas getting shoved down our kids throats and not asking us if it's okay. You are not going to teach my child CRT and tell them they are racist from birth because they are white. Go woke, go broke.....we the people have had enough!

COVID money ends this June. LOL

People in education aren't exactly the best minds.

If there is a teacher shortage then there are about to be a bunch of teachers available to fill the vacancies. Sounds like this is just a staffing adjustment around the country, surplus to shortage.

Republicans want this. They've been trying to destroy the public school system in its entirety for years. And they might get their wish at this rate.

@@patrickmccarthy6798 LMAO, oh my sweet summer child

@@patrickmccarthy6798 Teachers don’t get paid enough to justify moving out of state. Especially not to the states with the largest shortages because when accounting for all time worked those states pay below minimum wage. That’s one of the reasons why so many of us are former teachers.

⁠@@patrickmccarthy6798you should try talking to some teachers, or your kids if you have them… There’s a shortage because of low pay, most schools have open position all this school year, and they’re vacant for a reason, it’s not that there’s no people to be teachers, there’s no money in the systems to offer decent pay… in my country the average school has had 3 positions available per grade level k-12 and special ed, these positions literally pay $18k for anyone with minimum experience and qualifications, and up to $22.5k if you have a masters ( minimum qualification is one year of school, but many schools suspended that policy and will hire these positions out to anyone currently enrolled to be a teacher, they’re even over “semi permanent” position to substitute teachers, in my state that requires a background check only) 18k bro… that’s not a career, you can walk in and store or restaurant and make more than that… good thing they’re not doing the most important job around

because 1 is actually useful while the other just spewing DEI BS.

Well. Most of teacher $$ comes from the states. Not like we didn’t see this coming… with the date for expiration of the funds written into the federal bill that provided them.

Try billions approaching a trillion. The cost of saving America failing from the inside is a FRACTION of what the government spends on other countries and the military. You could solve the problems in America with 5% of the military budget. They don't want to. It's by design.

Just like our fearless leader Brandon. But hey, at least he's having a good time attending celebrity galas pretending that there's nothing wrong at all. Must be fun having dementia.

No, this is when there is no accountability in this country

It’ll be funny to see the public pensions disappear because they were and are tied up in horrible commercial real estate holdings. This is what you get when you work in a corrupted system and trust clowns with your retirement.

Blame the states

Fact. Maybe the Teachers should stop supporting Democrats.

Why do you want to Fund a system where they take your property if you don’t pay for the reeducation of your children. The public school agenda is not for you or your children. Especially if you are low income. The school system will teach the children to be mask wearing slaves. Why would you want your children to go there to that place that looks like a prison with no windows. And has an agenda that is anti everything you believe in.

Actually, I am Japanese We can say a same thing to our government as well.

👍👍👍👍

​@iku8221 at least y'all have high speed commuter trains from city to city, we are still trying to do that

Military spending is federal budget whereas funding for education is local or state responsibility

There is a decline in students. California is down over 500k students in the last few years. People can't afford to have kids and the ones that can are putting their kids in private school here. Districts get funding per student and after the temporary covid grants expire, they have to adjust back to prepandamic spending + less students.

@@TA-np4mc , I gotcha. I'm from California, but live in Tennessee. Our district specifically, has no charter schools and a large increase in population from Nashville overflow. Our brand new schools are opening at 100-110% capacity.

The american medical system is a scam. THey purposefully restrict the number of doctors in order to have them charge more. When the doctors can charge more, they donate to the policiticans who control medical education

Do those country have reach to be the number one super world power? No? Exacttly, you dont get to be the first super global power and spend on needles none important waste at the same time, is either one or the other you Cant have both!! You just cant!!

Some kids never came back after Covid.

they're losing the COVID funding so they have no choice but to fire teachers. plus declining enrollments means less funding. so if you want to correct the situation, we clearly need more immigration and another pandemic

Get paid very little? 60k for 9 months of work, summers off, pension and healthcare benefits for life and no risk of termination due to corrupt unions? Yeah, stop spreading misinformation like during the pandemic…everyone knows and the jig is up

Not to mention the right-wing cancel culture campaign to publicly humiliate anyone who messes up and says something dumb on a bad day

teachers do not get paid very little, and they are not understaffed. there you go.

​@davidanalyst671 average teacher salary in NC at 20 years of experience is $54,263. Starting out with zero years of experience it is $43,575. Now tell me, what kind of self respecting profession would only allow an employee make barely above the national average while simultaneously requiring a degree and certification? They are grossly underpaid for what they do for future generations

Teachers and administrators are working welfare. That’s it.

Been teaching 29 years...so glad my daughter will continue online school for 10th grade.

Oh we have a teacher shortage here in the US, too.

Teachers are liars. They claimed there was a teacher shortage and overworked, while also claiming fewer students were enrolled. They just want more money for being glorified babysitters to "work" 180 days a year and get a pension. Those days are over. The smart kids will do just fine.

'Schools have to be run by property taxes.' I think that is the core problem. The more deprived the region the less local revenue, thus less funding for public education. Communities with chronic lack of cash are less inclined to increase the funding for their own schools. The funding has to be put on a broader footing.

Sorry to hear but the size of the public sector has got to decrease immensely. It has grown way outside the bounds which the constitution allows. The government doesn’t have anything until it TAKES it from us first. Not sure what people dont understand about this simple concept.

So far the only real argument I've seen well done❤❤❤

Yea close the schools and give the parents back their hard earned money. Public schools are funded by taking your home if you don’t pay. The ooor are the least to benefit. Think about it. Free lunches, free bus rides, they are taught to be beggars and paupers and they are told it is “equity”. And they believe it. They think Teader joes and whole foods should come to their neighbors goods so they can spend their EBT cards. The public system has an agenda few would agree with but alas parents don’t know nor ask what their children are being taught. Keep your kids home and get your money. Ask for your money back. you I’ll have plenty left over to educate your children, your property, properly and sell the way you see fit. . They are not learning anything anyway. Test scores prove it and that is the agenda… poor people suffer the most. Those in Africa get a. Better education in a grass hut with a black board and chalk and pencils and little paper. . Have you ever seen an African with bad grammar? . Never!

It doesn’t bolster anything. Research the capher accounts. They are in every school district. Absconding the funds from the ignorant homeowners. Close the schools and give the money back.

that is a lie, they have as many teachers as they need. American students are dumber than europeans and we pay 2x as much as europe does, and we get worse results. Just like American medical care.

I would like the government to give me back the taxes they took for school then I can use that money to spend on the school with better quality

Exactly

Yes! Thank you for saying something. The migrant program was actually started for migrant workers and their children. Today, illegals are brought in under the migration education policy, suck the money out of the program and other areas. Migrant programs were developed to help a very small group with education, food, community out reach and in some cases housing. With illegals coming into the school system under the act in mass numbers school districts are drowning. This has been going on for years and nobody is talking about it. I have seen this firsthand. An illegal student enters the school and receives one-on-one instruction from multiple teaching staff, SPED programs, and counselors. While the children who need one one-on-one instruction are pushed to the side due to not enough staff. Districts are letting this happen ofcouse because they receive extra funding for every illegal student they take in.
