The paradox about the teaching profession in America is that despite its prospects of high wages it has failed to attract the youth. The schools have realized the need to make pay and duties much better but it still seems not enough to make up the huge gap in demand and supply of qualified teachers.

 The paradox about the teaching profession in
America is that despite its prospects of high
wages it has failed to attract the youth. The
schools have realized the need to make pay and
duties much better but it still seems not enough to
make up the huge gap in demand and supply of
qualified teachers. The story is the same
throughout the country. The inflation of students in
schools has directly impacted the requirement of
teachers that varies from region to region. Barring
the Northwest region that has witnessed a decline
in demand for teachers; the increases are largest
in the West and the North with the Midwest
remaining steady in its place.

3. Reasons for Apathy
 There are two kinds of theories to explain the
apathy among the youth to become teachers. The
first is that the youth are more inclined to choose
professions that promise more financial
sustenance and stability. This has been fallout of
the recession that continues to drive away the
youth from the noble profession of teaching. The
second reason is the local laws and regulations
governing the employment of teachers. Some
states have introduced laws about the service
conditions of teachers that take away the power of
collective bargaining of the unions. Some laws
had made people apprehensive about withdrawal
of guaranteed pensions that brought a lot of
uncertainty.

4. Financial Prospects
 Quickly rising wages of teachers hold good
attraction for the profession even though the
love for teaching the subject and love for
students are the basic motivators. Taking
advantage of the arrangement of teacher
certification reciprocity that allows teachers to
move from one state to another, it is now
possible for the right candidate to leverage the
opportunities and get higher wages through
bargaining at various schools in different
states.

5. Specialty Matters
 The prospects however should not be
generalized as it varies according to the
subjects of the teachers. The demand for
technical teachers and those teaching special
education, science and mathematics are very
high. In fact, almost all the states have
reported shortage of teachers of special
education. Similarly, qualified pre-kindergarten
teachers are also in short supply as would be
evident from the country being placed in the
15th position on the world map in pre-school or
early childhood education.

6. Market Demand
 The demand for workers in the engineering,
science and manufacturing sectors have
resulted in the requirement of more teachers of
science and technical subjects in schools.
Hence it is critical to have a specialty in
teacher education to reap the benefits of high
demand of teachers across the country.

7.  Teachers of business are equally hard to find
as teachers of chemistry, science and
mathematics. The situation is so bad that in a
certain state, none of the seven vacancies of
business teacher could find a respondent to
the advertisement that had been published for
recruitment.
 Teaching can be a very attractive profession
only if you have a desire to change the world
and love to work with students. Preparing to
teach a special subject can set the foundation
of a sound career.
