Pay the teachers better and let them do their jobs. My local county is top heavy with overpaid administrators. They could probably cut the admins in half and hire more teachers with better pay. But no, gotta have 6 figure useless oversight.
Have they tried NOT making schools a hostile work evironment where teachers are one baseless accusation of being "woke" away from getting fired and getting death threats from the community? Have they tried not censoring speech and burning books such that teachers can do their jobs? No? Good luck with that then.
More: have they ever considered making public school NOT be run like a jail?
After all these years of complaining that one baseless sexual harassment allegation will get you fired, they've now made a system where being "woke" gets you fired. Irony level: Darth Plagueis the Wise.
Didn't they just announce they had more money than they budgeted for, so they were sending checks out to people? Maybe keep some of that money and pay teachers more.
Why buy a few votes when you can buy a lot?
Read the headline and thought they were drafting retired teachers for combat situations.
I'm sure the headline was constructed exactly for that reason.
same. had to read it a couple more times to realize combat can be a noun or a verb. It's a verb here. And pronounced differently with emphasis on the second syllable.

I must be a jaded fucking US citizen (or maybe a normal one) for thinking the same. And it's Florida, so that wouldn't be surprising in the least.
It's the U.S., they practically are.
Superintendent: "Hello, Mrs. Baumgartner, would you be willing to fill in as a substitute?"
Mrs. Baumgartner: "Lol, no. Get fukt."
"But we'll pay you $50 a day"
These red states are so hostile to education, and they are now finding out what happens.
In the medical space, I'm seeing a lot of people leave Florida and Texas. And looks like the teachers are doing the same.
On one hand, we want our people to be as dumb as possible, but on the other hand, nobody wants to be teachers at our state sponsored daycare for their kids
It is on purpose. The GOP wants an uneducated populace.
On average, teachers a~~t~~re smart people. They know why they prefer to work elsewhere...
Don't worry, they'll just change and lower the requirements until they no longer have to rely on smart people.
If they lower them far enough, they could even use Republican politicians as teachers.
You are what you eat so I suppose I’m happy they’re not eating dumb people.
(Most) teachers don't eat people.
"Come out of retirement. However, if you say the wrong thing, you're fired."
if you say the wrong thing
...or use the wrong books
Or dress the wrong way...
Florida logic for you
Or end up behind bars.
"Lol Grandma, we need you to come out of retirement! The woke mind virus killed all tbe teachers and everyones blaming me!" -DeSantis, probably
A very good friend of mine used to live and work in Florida but moved away years ago. He is a teacher now in another state and has always wanted to move back, but because he’s gay he doesn’t feel like it’s an option for him. He used to frequent Pulse.
It’s really sad for folks like him, and the state didn’t have to do this to themselves but they chose to.
