We value the hard work of ALL our teachers equally but have vacancies that we can not fill in certain areas. If anyone has other ideas on how to attract more teachers in these areas, now is the time for them to step forward. It would be interesting to see the data regarding which subject areas are ATTRACTING more teachers and which subject areas are KEEPING more teachers. I would like to have more information to help understand if the shortage areas are front-end or exit problems. I realize that they are probably both but if it is more of one than the other, we should focus our resources where they will benefit the most. Very good points Tom.
