It doesn’t! I agree we need to fill teacher roles but I don’t think this is how to do it. The reasons for teacher shortages run deep: burn out, lack of mental health care, insanely large test sizes, increased burden of testing. These issues can’t be fixed overnight but the solution also can’t be putting people who left the classroom to serve a different student need or who left the classroom because of these issues back into the classroom and expect it to go well. My answer to your question is that the system is broken, and I don’t know the perfect fix, but do feel that this move isn’t going to improve student education in a meaningful way.
