Who loses? Everyone.
Teachers lose because they become disillusioned with the school in which they work.
Students lose because they are taught by less experienced teachers.
Parents lose because they lose experienced teachers for their children.
Schools lose because inexperienced teachers bring lower test scores and less federal funding.
Principals lose because they receive bad reputations for losing teachers.
School Districts lose because it is expensive to hire and train non-certified and inexperienced teachers to replace the experienced teachers that leave.
The Public at Large loses because there are not enough teachers who want to teach.
Can the teacher shortage problem be solved?
