They can replace one experienced teacher for 3 or 4 TFA indentured teacher. They only stay until the contract expires. They may get some of their loans forgiven but they are gone gone gone. We have a hard time keeping and experienced teacher are disrespected, put on growth plans and anything to humiliate them and get them to leave. I am a school nurse and this is my last year. I am retiring and going to a hospital to work 5 more years and earn some real money. I took less for 25 years only to be pissed on. We have a major brain drain going on in public school.
