I went to a public US high school with a nursing magnet program and an automotive program.
Both saw you with a phlebotomist license or a technician certification respectively.
These were wildly popular programs despite having academic requirements (for the nursing track)
I think high schoolers care about practicality, actually.
> also you need to keep budget in mind and the teacher shortage
crazy thought, though.
Maybe pay teachers more? Make it a more attractive career? Vote in superintendents with more education experience than corporate.
Idk… anything but throw your hands up and say “well nobody wants to teach so idk”
- WillPostForFood 2y agoVote in superintendents with more education experience than corporate. I'm sure there are some corporate superintendents, but I've never seen one. It is almost always a teacher's union endorsed ex-teacher who was recently a principal in the district, or a superintendent from another district in the state.

- WillPostForFood 2y agoGood point, I was looking up LA and Chicago (NY has many small districts), and oddly both Superintendents have just been fired. Chicago was indeed a "CEO Type", and LA was the teacher principal type.
- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoAround here it's typically somebody who is using involvement in local education as a stepping stone towards a heavier hitting political career. I think things would be much better if they had been teachers, but the teachers are all either burnt out or still teaching.
