My wife has applied for 20 different districts. She has 10 years experience and has not gotten many call backs.

They’re talking about how there’s a teacher shortage, but you can’t find a job.

    Districts are desperate and are hiring under qualified people. If she doesn’t have something after that many applications then something is flagging for them.

      That’s probably true. A lot of positions are filled internally by student teachers who graduated. They get paid peanuts.

    I hear northern Indiana is starving for teachers, if you live close enough that could be an option too.

        I absolutely understand. Indiana can burn for all I care, and I’m intimately familiar with it.
