But why is there a teacher shortage?!

Low pay

Buying school supplies with their own money is common

Actively abused by the school kids

Actively abused by the parents of school kids

No support from the administration

I have several teachers on my Facebook... And they are all putting out Amazon wish lists and go fund mes for supplies. It's insane that they have to supply items to teach.
