England's Teacher Crisis

And this article is already a year old.

Meanwhile, my state (Kansas) is so awful on school funding, we have school districts in neighboring Missouri trying to poach teachers.

But that is good. We cut costs. The cut taxes. So cut more spending from schools and infrastructure. Our wacko extremists told us that will make more products and jobs.

It is not just a problem in the UK or Kansas. Chris Christie got famous and popular by attacking 'overpaid' teachers. Blaming and punishing the innocent is easy when most adults only believe the first thing they are told. That makes the dumbest politicians more popular.

Luxury!

I'll see your "poaching" and raise you "contempt of court".

Our state supreme court has found the entire state legislature in contempt of court for failing to produce a proper plan to equitably and adequately fund the schools in the state. The court has levied a fine of $100,000.00 per day. This decision was reached a long time ago and the accumulated debt is several million dollars by now. See McCleary Decision.

Cheaping out on paying for public education is like eating the goddamn seed corn. I hope you like that meal, cause.... might be your last one.

NYS has ignored a funding court order for years.
