Easley come, Easley go

A few years ago, my wife taught in one of North Carolina’s public schools. After one semester, she decided to leave the profession. She occasionally gets calls from local schools asking whether she would consider returning. These days, North Carolina teaching recruiters have their work cut out for them.
In North Carolina, the principal problem in public education is not that teachers are leaving after a short stint in the profession. It is more likely that they aren’t considering the teaching profession in the first place. Currently, North Carolina is producing only 3200 education graduates to fill 11,000 positions per year.
This educational crisis has resulted in thousands of vacancies in North Carolina public schools. It has also forced the state to use long-term substitutes. This means that many North Carolina parents pay taxes and get, at worst, no teacher, or, at best, an under-qualified teacher to educate their children.
