Teacher shortage affects everyone

The figures sound staggering: There are nearly 1,000 openings for teachers statewide, including 150 slots in Jackson.

A chunk of the openings are for elementary education - 256 statewide and 75 in the capital city, the state's largest district.

State Department of Education officials said the vacancies are typical for this time of the year and that the July numbers should reflect fewer openings.

The numbers are, however, still a reason for concern, especially in elementary education. Unlike middle school, high school and upper elementary grades, lower elementary teachers must complete a standard education program.

A shrinking candidate pool illustrates an obvious dilemma, especially since policy-makers nationwide are speaking openly about using early reading scores to project prison beds.

Letters to the Editor

May I second Brian Hill's semantic quibble over the phrase “confined to a wheelchair" used more than once by Susan Parker. A wheelchair is not an obstacle, it is a tool, and a very useful one if you can't walk. Like Brian and Ralph, I'm good and crippled, but the chair isn't the problem, it's part of the solution, and I wish the Daily Planet wouldn't use language implying otherwise.

Try “wheelchair user," or “uses a wheelchair." That's not so hard, is it?
