I'd like your comment but Substack is being Substack this morning. Doing what you describe would attract and retain more highly qualified teachers and improve education is so many ways.

Today teachers need hazard pay. The situation at our son's very overcrowded high school is tragic. Teachers were already overworked, but with Covid they're at wits' end. Here and everywhere, watch for record resignations when the school year ends.

We are in a world of hurt when our public education system, already hobbled with problems for years and now under an ideological attack, declines. The effects on young people, not to mention society, are lasting.

...and then there is also a nursing shortage, and a national blood shortage. However there is no Republican demagoguery shortage.
