EDGEWATER, Fla. -- Are you aware of the critical teacher shortage here in Central Florida and across the country?
As it is the curriculum of our schools is not giving students a decent education, especially in our own history.
Teachers are quitting their jobs in droves due to poor wages and disrespectful children not even counting that now they could get shot trying to protect those students. They don’t want to carry guns. Protection is not their job.

There are many different items invented to lock down classrooms if needed but they cost money to buy and install so most schools do not have them. Having one security officer is no protection either. Kids are afraid to go to school and I don’t blame them. If I had a child today I would home school or manage money enough for a private school.
I asked a 14-year-old if he knew who Hitler was, but he did not know. I asked if he knew what a concentration camp was, but again he did not know
That is history that needs to be taught so we do not allow such a thing to ever happen again. What the heck are they teaching these days? Parents can’t help students with homework because many subjects have been so skewed no one knows what to do.
People are not trying to become teachers anymore. Many that had to find other work during the COVID-19 shutdown found they actually felt so much less stress they are not returning to teaching.
After what happened in Uvalde, Texas with the mass shooting and the terrible law enforcement response to it, who can blame teachers for not wanting to continue in the profession.
We have to change this scenario and quickly or soon there will be school buildings but no one in them.
