Why teachers are fleeing Arizona in droves
"Teachers have been fleeing Arizona in droves, resulting in such a serious shortage of experienced teachers that state officials are warning of serious consequences if the exodus continues.
Over the last five years, thousands of teachers have left the state, according to a 2015 report by the Arizona Department of Education, with this past school year being possibly the worst. The report warns if teachers keep leaving, “students will not meet their full potential” and “Arizona will not be able to ensure economic prosperity for its citizens and create the workforce of tomorrow.” It calls for increased pay for teachers and more overall education funding in the state."
The conservative fix for education is to blame teachers, break the teachers' unions, cut pay and benefits for teachers, make the job tougher for teachers and somehow,
magically, conservatives believe that will get us better teachers who will better educate America's children.
Of course that sounds insane, and it is, and the proof is showing up as in this article.
