  1. This guy gives me a weird vibe.

  2. The United States Department of Education has always been broken parents invest in your children education. Be safe.

  3. I'm a recruiter and you would be surprised by how many college professors and teacher just don't wanna be around young adults and kids. It's very alarming. And they are willing to take Huge pay cuts not to go back into the classroom. Isee and hear it first hand daily. And it's only going to get worse.

  4. Unfortunately learning begins at home and homes today ain't like they were in our Leave it Beaver Days.
    I learned all I needed at home to make a living before i graduated HS and left home at 17. The dozen colleges and universities since did nothing to help my earning an income, It was all those things I learned from my parents. Cook, clean, build, imagine, create,
    are things all learned at home. TODAY a thumbplucking shooter game device, these days it's a "can you hear me now"/tracking device phone.
    AI groomed and chipped.

  5. They took away kids food too. Why would they want to go to school

  6. Having worked in a school, it's a challenge. Parents should be required to spent a certain amount of hours in our schools. Make the teaching programs better, and better recruitment. Teachers should not have to work 10-20 years to make six figures.

  13. Knowledge scares Republicans. Full ✋️ stop

  14. Does God have an accent?

  15. He mentioned everything except the fact that they're also putting their lives at risk because the government refuses to do anything concerning gun legislation. I spent the last five years as a PE teacher doing safety drills that required trying make sure two classes would be safe if a shooter entered the premises. There is much more to the shortage than they're wanting to own up to. It will only get worse.

  16. There is no teacher shortage. Districts won’t hire anyone with experience coming into the system, people with advanced degrees, or who don’t fit diversity requirements.

  17. Imagine the teacher shortage in Florida because teachers are quitting because deathsantis is banning books like the bible and Ann Frank.

  18. Sports coaches get more respect and are paid more than teachers.

  19. Maybe you should keep the tax payers front and center.

  20. It's just ramifications to an
    "Or else" ultimatum. 🤣

  21. Everyone agrees that the 'education system' in America is broken. I would suggest that ALL incumbents have played their part in that. For that reason, and MANY others, they DO NOT deserve our votes.

  22. Why people constantly talking about a recession? I remember when a piece of candy cost a penny to me 😂 this is just 🦜

  23. This world is 4 billion 500 million years old if you think it's 4,000 years old you shouldn't be a teacher in a public school

  24. This so great I received a bitcoin hack of 1.2btc from Maskoffweb service so.i can have a better Life of my own

  25. Education Secretary Cardona 😊✌

  26. Yeah, because they make them teach woke agenda. I would quit too.

  27. Teachers get paid crap 💩 they can exercise their degree else where for more

  28. Get back to work lazy a$$ teachers!

  29. Teachers unions are a disgrace and have failed for ever. This bureaucrat is a looooooooooser failer

  30. Liberalism is evil. Period.

  31. The lack of respect, the lack of salary, the continued additional duties and the inept administrators sent this award winning highest rated master teacher running from education. I would never go back. Betsy DeVos and her ilk want to end public education and it has been a decades-long effort. Most of the teachers I worked with were average/below average. About 25% of us were superior. I guess people‘s children are not important to them. They just want a babysitter. Good luck, future generations.

  32. Good. Better to stay home than get shot in class.

  33. Just.blame Trump and be done with it.

  34. 6000+ teachers NEEDED in Vegas.

  35. PAY THEM BETTER, TREAT THEM BETTER
