teacher shortages in particular disciplines.
And some areas of the country fare better than others in that arena. And the current state of the economy isn't helping anyone with anything.
Ii personally believe that schools should be one of the LAST things that gets its spending cut. They need MORE teachers and smaller classes and smaller schools and more choices. And most definitely a hell of a lot more ARTS in the schools.
