Not Nice
Ronald Reagan once said "If you serve a child a rotten hamburger in America, federal, state, and local agencies will investigate you, summon you, close you down, whatever. But if you provide a child with a rotten education, nothing happens, except that you're liable to be given more money to do it with. Well, we've discovered that money alone isn't the answer."
Over 40 years later, that's still true.
From your link: "Overall, there are at least 36,500 vacant positions along with 163,000 underqualified individuals filling teaching positions across the United States," Nguyen said. "These vacancies represent 1.67% of teaching positions nationwide, with about 5.16% of positions held by underqualified school district employees."
Why don't Americans want to be teachers? Here is one partial answer; burnout....along with poor pay and too much bullshit on the job.

The state of Michigan is even running ads on local TV to encourage h.s. students to enter the field.
This shit in FL is a good example of why mixing politics with teaching is a very bad idea.
