We have inner-city school districts that are laying off teachers partly due to charter schools and the teachers in those schools are fighting to keep those jobs. It is not a rosy picture. You are right that many of these Baby Boomers are not going to want to teach in this environment.

If anyone thinks Detroit makes crummy cars, try these stats: Half the kids don't show up, and half of those don't graduate. A near universal 25 percent success rate in our urban school districts. At $15k/yr/ per student...even those who don't show. A classroom of 20 kids represents a public investment of $300k!!!
The truth is that there are way too many teachers who can't teach becasue they don't know anything but "elementary ed." Want a teaching job? Learn and teach something "valuable", like math, or a science.

I see your examples only include subjects which would be found in schools or colleges. Are there any needs for trade school instructors? Many technical instructors have many more hours in trade theory courses than people with college degrees, after all, many instructors completed a 4-5 year apprenticeship in addition to specialized courses after reaching their target goal of mechanic.

I don't know about other states, but in Arizona teachers do qualify for Social Security. My wife taught for over thirty years and her teaching job falls under the State Retirement System. She currently receives between 75 and 80% of her "average" for her high five years. She will be eligible to receive Social Security payments once she reaches 62.

I used to teach many years ago, but hated the paperwork. I have already decided that I will go back as a long-term sub after I retire from my current position. It's good pay and I can set my hours.
some teachers are under Social Security

In PA, teachers are covered under Social Security as well as qualify for excellent pension benefits. Hopefull this makes up for the grief and low pay they suffer through their careers!

I'm a "Baby Boomer" and I tried teaching right after I received my degree. I won't ever set foot in another class room again unless there is a massive crackdown and discipline is restored. Horrid, disrespectful little beasties would be an understatement. BTW I live in a rural area so bad conduct isn't confined to inner city schools.
