Best States for Teachers 2023

I was getting calls/emails right up until the time my retirement was official asking me to reconsider. What’s really dumb is that I can’t sub for a year or it’ll void my entire retirement.

 

Report doesn’t say how many job openings other states have, or what is normal for Florida. Hard to evaluate a single number.

 

Best states for government inculcators ?

 

From a different article:

'Worst teacher shortage in history' hits Florida school districts

According to the Florida Education Association, there were 5,294 teacher vacancies in January 2023. In 2019, that number was 2,219.

 

Yes, it’s an FRS rule. It was put into place to keep folks from taking advantage. I can’t even volunteer at the public library or elections because they are FRS entities.

 

My daughter just started substitute teaching. The school is so desperate for teachers, they're giving her bonuses and telling her she can be fast-tracked to a teaching certificate. This was after one week of subbing. And this is Virginia, where teacher pay is better than most, so I think shortages aren't limited to Florida, they're just more acute there.

 

I mean think about all the narrow minded libbie teachers who fled this wonderful state.
