I would be happy to. I am qualified to teach math. I don't see what all
the fuss is about.

Granted the pay is less than other jobs, but the benefits far outweigh the
difference in pay.

I am not wrong about the supply of teachers. I know many - some friends,
other family. I also know administrators whom have told me about the local
supply/demand.

I agree there is a shortage of math/science but the ridiculous gov't system
won't budge on silly school credentials to teach, so I have to go through
the BS of a Masters and get "education" education before I can teach.

I have done research about this and would not be changing careers if I
hadn't. It is a sweet deal that teachers have - trust me.

The bottom line is - there are plenty of qualified people lined up to
take
the teaching jobs at the current salary levels.

You are so far out in left field, I only will make a couple comments. You
are completely wrong about the supply of teachers. Perhaps there are
surplus numbers in elementary and humanities, but it is almost impossible
to
find science and math teachers who are well qualified, and gets harder
every
year.

Teacher's salaries have grown at under the cost of living, under
inflation,
and has meant less disposable income, even when taking into account pay
raises for each years service. Not too many professions can claim that
proud distinction.

Come take my teaching job. See how you like it. You won't last a year.
