I thought I'd add some numbers to the dire situation relative to the need for teachers going forward. The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has estimated that there will be plenty of job openings for PK-12 teachers between 2014 and 2024. A staggering 1,053,000 openings are in the offing. Yes, that's right, over 1,000,000 teachers will be needed.
This isn't merely about teacher training, getting students interested in pursuing a career working with young people and helping to shape their direction in life. Not having the necessary and highly qualified people in the classroom will surely send a jolt to the very fabric of American society; culture, entertainment, the economy and more.
The problem is here right now and Americans better wake up and get off their asses and do something about it!!
