MAXWELL: Teacher vacancies show what happens when you abuse public education
By Scott Maxwell, Orlando Sentinel (TNS) Welcome back to school, kids! We hope you’re excited to learn. There’s just one little problem: Many of you won’t have teachers. At least not permanent ones. As the Orlando Sentinel reported last week, the state has about 3,500 teaching vacancies; about one for every school. That means about 300,000 kids will start the year with substitute or temporary teachers.
