Jesus, that's like three times as many teachers.

E:^^ education should be free. Or at least the first 3 years of chosen studies if its in an area that society needs more of (whether that's trade school or doctor school or comp Sci or teacherology or whatever).

society is poo poo at determining what it needs more of, if it were up to society everyone would be service workers for the wealthy and science would grind to a halt outside of noble dilettantes and the odd genius

Do you know what "per capita" means when calculating statistics? If you're creating a graph to show change over time are you aware that April 27 comes after April 26? If you answered yes then you're actually wayyyyyyyyyy ahead of the math curve :v:

if anyone is wondering why the hell american class sizes are so large, its bc theres not enough teachers. and theres not enough teachers bc it pays so poorly. turns out not many people are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars on an education to start out earning 40k (if that) in an incredibly high-stress job.

The lack of teachers is because they don't have the budget to hire more teachers, not a lack of qualified applicants.

The easiest fix to American education is to decouple school funding from property taxes.
As a non American that makes my head hurt.
Give money equally to all schools and then add supplements for each child in poverty, each child with special needs etc.

Yeah that's a great idea when half of people lost their jobs and have no income or payroll for those taxes and aren't spending for those taxes

Schools aren't going to do any of this. They're either going to ignore the CDC guidelines or they aren't reopening. A lot of schools are going to have problems with their teachers refusing to come back in the fall unless this just entirely vanishes over the summer.

man I love teaching, some of you guys act like it’s the worst job in the world lol.

block scheduling is a big issue though, it was a way to reduce the number of teachers necessary by having kids go to less classes per day and be able to have half the teachers basically but 30+ kid classes

Back in the seventies the city of Pittsburgh built a new high school in the southern part of the city, Brashear High, to test what the best way to teach an integrated student body was.

the southern white population reacted by picking up and moving 1.5-2 miles to the south into entirely different school districts, lol.

Brashear High School (Pittsburgh Public Schools): 67% black
Keystone Oaks High School (Dormont), less than 2 miles away: 87% white
Mt. Lebanon High School (Mt. Lebanon), 2.5 miles away: 88% white

White people will move heaven and earth to keep their kids from going to school with black or hispanic kids.

My kid goes to one of, if not the, most racially integrated public schools in the country

Its also the one with the worst racial disparity in testing outcomes by race ; by a country mile . Damned if you do, damned if you don't


Also the school lunch this is weird as hell, because when Chicago teachers went on strike the schools stayed open so kids had a place to go if parents worked or if they needed food. Like 2% of kids came by to get food, veruss what 75% of them only getting food at school the rest of the year. There's a lot of myths about public sector stuff, be it pay (public defenders and teachers do great in many places, but few jobs available), the food situation, ie. School lunches maybe not being needed but maybe are, nonone knows, food deserts aren't a real thing, the studies to show they existed excluded a ton on purpose to get the result they wanted) list goes on and on

Then add in people pushing to reopen/not reopen due to all this. The strike showed the schools weren't needed at all for 95% of kids to be cared for/fed but that just sounds wrong at a gut level , so how the hell do you know if infection risk is worth it? And that's with a fully employed work force last year vs now everyone is not working and can homeschool more easily (for varied degree of ease)

Schools here resume full-time face to face teaching next week and students who don't attend will be marked absent.

I guess we're going to be the national guinea pig for finding out how easily school age children contract and spread covid-19.

The original plan was for students to return full-time time by the end of July. No explanation has really been given for the change in plans and it seems kind of stupid to have students resuming school before we know the impact of lifting other restrictions over the last couple of weeks.
