Texas is switching to four-day weeks, while Florida is asking veterans with no experience to step in. Some districts are now going virtual: remote teachers instructing classrooms full of students. We travel to one school in Georgia to see the advantages and disadvantages of this type of learning.

  1. "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17

    "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." Matthew 5:38-39;

  2. I just got my first job as a teacher in a private school, but I interviewed at another school that was public. I do like the idea of virtual classrooms with an in person facilitator. I think it can work both ways (and I've done both, doing the hybrid model). It just depends on the student.

  3. In Republican States, the Governor and Republican Legislators seem to think it doesn't take much education to be an educator. Look at the big picture, the Governors need to do their job and let teachers do theirs. How will this affect kids down the line. America has been behind in Education for years. This will not end well.

  4. There was a nationwide teachers shortage prior to the coronavirus pandemic and even after the pandemic.. the shortage exacerbated several factors contributed to the teachers shortage ( 1) burnout, (2) bullying, (3) violence, (4) low salary, (5) misbehaving kids, (6) disrespect, (7) undervalued, (8) fear of contracting coronavirus, etc. To combat the nationwide teachers shortage that is plaguing American schools they need to start paying these educators a living wage otherwise, many will leave the profession in pursuit of higher paying jobs.

  5. So, the powers thar be have created this nonsense. Every generation gets a dose of the agenda. They say by 2050 all schooling will be at home virtual learning. More UN Rockefeller education. Created to keep you dumb, just enough to push buttons and flip switches.

  6. As a Spanish teacher I would want to teach in person twice a week and virtual twice a week. Two days for lessons. One day for application. One day for assessment on the unit. Day five should be used for grading and data gathering for the next weeks classes.

  7. Schools tend to prefer female teachers then white teachers. This is why there is a shortage because of discrimination despite that teaching programs have higher diversity student population than other fields yet there is a discrepancy in the reality of being hired as a teacher.

  8. America's employment practices based on marginalization was exposed during the pandemic and today education also suffered the consequences of such practices. With the high cost of living and recession, it is not worth it to go 2 years without pay to become a teacher and then live under poverty for the rest of your life and the mental abuse from students and society for being a teacher.
