No. You’re simply wrong. If you’re not practicing your profession, you are not including yourself in the labor market.

Its a very very simple concept.

We are talking about

Labor

Markets

By this logic, someone just has to get a teaching certificate, then work in landscaping for 50 years but brag about being a teacher for 50 years.

Its absurd

You’re just spouting gibberish. They are still qualified teachers and if school districts want to hire them all they have to do is figure out how to first retain good teachers and then to attract others.

Make conditions and pay attractive enough and those not working as teachers now can be brought back into the education workforce.

Lol you just can’t admit there’s a shortage of teachers in the school system can you

Amazing. That’s the whole point.

“in the school system”. Great job of moving the bar. Your strawman is on fire.

Hahahaha yes. Totally. We haven’t been talking about the school system.

You got us!

Who knew we were talking about teacher shortages IN SCHOOLS?

:laughing:

You lose.

No lol. That’s like saying you’ve been a teacher for 50 years because you got a certificate in 1970 but worked landscaping for 50 years.

No one’s buying your gayme.

Labor

Markets

Say it slow…

You lose.

Are you a teacher?

You got me now!

Are you a teacher?

If Sanders can put a minimum, what’s to prevent a maximum?

Absolutely absurd.

If the qualified teacher isn’t actually teaching, the. They are no longer a teacher. They are either unemployed or working in another profession.

Also it does matter why qualified teachers aren’t teaching… if the market needs 100k teachers but only can find 10k willing to do it… that makes a shortage.

If the market needs 100k teachers but find 110k teachers wanting to teach… then they market is over saturated

It’s so simple

My wife is a teacher. I’ve met many many teachers over the years. I have never met anyone who claimed to be a teacher simply because they had a certificate.
I know some that have their credentials but chose a different profession. They don’t claim to be teachers either.

If you have the education and credentials you are a qualified teacher.

Teaching credentials does not make you a teacher. Teaching does.
