• On Teacher Appreciation Day, three teachers told “Fox & Friends” that the nation’s schools are facing growing problems with staff shortages, behavioral issues by students and moral dilemmas about politics in the classroom.
• “I think the biggest issue we’re having right now is there’s a national teacher shortage,” New York elementary school teacher Brook Ooten told host Ainsley Earhardt.
• “Three-quarters of U.S. states now report that they are short on teachers. We have teachers leaving the profession in droves and I think that puts a lot of stress on the teachers that are in the classroom teaching. They’re not as well staffed, classes are overcrowded, and that’s a big stressor on teachers today,” she said.
