You can give the school all the money in the world and it wont make a difference if you can't find teachers. The assumption that you'll always have enough teachers if you just pay enough isn't true. Every kid will always need an education, not every adult wants to teach, and this disparity will always towards the students with strictly human teachers.
You can trust when I say, if it wasn't so well known that educators get the raw deal right now, there would be way more teachers. I for one, thought about being a teacher and still do. But the terrible pay, the lack of funding... really detured me and I'm sure a bunch of folks away. I know people who actively suggest people away from going into teaching, because they don't want to see the person just struggle and watch their passion die.
It's not a problem of finding the supply (teachers), it's about creating the demand (way better pay and working conditions)
