Well y

Why is something so obvious such a mystery to the media and policy-makers?

@@drbluechipx Blind eyes

@@drbluechipx because they are narcissists

Lots of nurses and doctors. We just got rid of the nutty anti science ones. Plenty food service and janitorial jobs available for them. Also Costco is hiring seasonal workers!

Brilliant

Good because there only there to teach and that what the real parents want

And also no want to be school bus driver

@@Mrgreen2558 For real

​@@ikeones Then the parents on average need to do better. You say that parents don't want teachers to do all this extra stuff which is fair, but teachers also don't "want" to do it either if we could teach all day we would. It's kind of just been forced in our laps as a way of making it through day to day with kids who don't have attentive parents at home. Teachers don't want to have to talk to a student about their depression and anxiety but what happens when the kid reaches out to them and because of Ford's budget cuts no full time in school councillors to help them either. Do you want us to just turn them away saying thats not our job figure it out?

Good luck! I hope you find the R&R you deserve. You’re doing a thankless job for the world’s benefit, which I find admirable.

Okay pop off racist

You believe in Jesus and we cannot see him, but we feel him. Same as gender, you may not see it, but it is real and it is felt. Jesus had long hair, wore a dress, and was a gentle soul.

​@@cheerfulbutterflies1025: Jesus wore a robe-like garment because men's pants hadn't been invented yet - nice try though.

@@cheerfulbutterflies1025absolutely false.

Believe in political science but don't believe in biological science! This is an orchestrated event.

I bet those retired teachers wouldn't even consider coming back. Even if you offered them half a million. Students are out of control. Discipline is no longer allowed in schools. The parents are even worse.

@@XXLSSBBW It would depend on them being properly incentivized, and properly supported, of course. But that could be done, if the will to do it were present. And it wouldn't cost anything much to do it.

@@immanuelcan3310 Sadly they wouldn't be able to cope with the mental stress the students can cause. If any of them tried to discipline their students they'd have to deal with the principal/board of education and the parents. Things are just going to keep getting worst in public schools that they'll eventually start shutting down due to lack of staff. Parents won't be able to afford to send their children to a private school or get in a tutor.

@@XXLSSBBW That can change. If parents gave back to the teachers the authority to exercise appropriate and helpful discipline, such as making learning a privilege again, and allowing the reprimanding, isolating and banishment of bad students, then the problem would end quickly. The bad apples would be gone, and those that could become good apples would do so, because life without education is ultimately dismal and financially awful, and at the end of the day, everybody knows it. I've lived in countries where learning was hard to get, and everybody was desperate for it. Believe you me, the students behave much better there.

@@immanuelcan3310 Well said. It's just a question of 'When'?

Blood cancer

If you look at the reasons as to why teachers are leaving, or people aren't becoming teachers, your guess wouldn't even be in the top 10.

what ridiculous thought process

first of all, please define woke for me. second of all, its because they dont pay enough. lol

You wrote your comment like a bald person

I have very bad news for you. The schools are in such disarray that no one is coming, they are all running as fast as they can. I can't even begin to explain the level of unprofessionalism that is exhibited in the job from not only administrators but parents. It's the hardest job I've done and I was a manual laborer prior to my teaching career. I would never go back to that clown show and I worked with at risk youths prior to teaching for 5 years.

Lets start with you paying more taxes. Thats simple.

@@davidingels1256 Sure I'm actually ok with taxes going to education. I know the anti science party doesn't like it! There's a reason why most with post secondary education lean to the left.

The pay and benefits were fine in my opinion. I left because of parents, bad behaviour never seeing any repercussions, and pressure to inflante my grades (I am not even talking about not failing kids, the VPs legitimately tried to pressure me into raising my average grade and I was already a relatively easy marker). I came in with previous work experience in the trades and didn't put up with any of their nonsense (pressuring people to work extra for the school such as weekends, inflating grades etc., was the norm). Went back to trades for a while then went into HR/Training. Trades you work just as hard/much, but in a different way but you make WAY more. HR/Training is a fraction of the stress, I am done at 5 everyday barring some rare exceptions, and make more money than teaching with the option to go remote. There is zero reason to teach. And mind you, I worked with at risk youth for over 5 years before teaching while doing trades. This was not my first exposure to working with youngsters. Tried three different schools for three years, quit, and never looked back.

@@redragna3648you’re the only person making sense in this comment section

Well public schools shoulndt suck

When you pay property tax you are given choices on the schooling you want your tax to pay into. So you can't deny them 100%

Private schools probably teach better

@@hamansing787 public schools are struggling from under-funding and under-staffing, as it states in the news piece. Governments that keep reducing education funding suck.

@@SickndSoul not necessarily.
