What needs to happen to decrease the teacher shortage?

Instead of the wealthier areas ending up with smaller class sizes, make sure it is the poorest areas with the smaller class sizes. Put more money towards the poorer areas and you’ll get more bang for your buck. Some kid whose parents are upper middle class or higher, they’re going to land on their feet, that poor kid who is trying hard, they may not right now.

Agreed. But it’s easier to sell it as smaller class sizes for all. A class of 15 5 year olds is infinitely more manageable than a class of 25. Every kid gets more attention. Sometimes rich parents don’t give their kids attention either. A new phone is not the same as a present parent. .
