Teacher vacancies in schools around the country persist after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the latest data from the National Center for Education Statistics.

The COVID-19 pandemic set students across the nation back in their education, but those whose parents weren't able to work from home during the pandemic and give more attention to their children's studies might have experienced the the most educational setbacks.Jonathan Kirn/STOCK PHOTO/Jonathan Kirn/Getty Images

"They are the working class and we can't survive without them, and you know they couldn't stay home and take care of their kids, like many of us could," Carr said. "We need to be able to marry these kinds of statistics to see if we can provide some cause and effect and understand the full impact of this virus on these communities."

Congress approved more than $190 billion to help students keep up their learning during the pandemic,. School districts with higher levels of low-income students received more funds. But NCES's data shows that the money had little effect on retaining teachers in these schools. Only 43% of high-poverty schools reported being fully staffed compared to 59% of low-poverty schools that claim to be fully staffed, according to the NCES. For high-minority and high-poverty populations who have historically suffered from inadequate educational resources, the implications are sobering.

"What if we don't get them what they need? What if we don't get them back on track?" Carr said. "What will that mean for their lives, their earning power, or for us as a country when we are not prepared to compete."

GEE. I WONDER WHY.

Couldn’t pay me enough to teach in an inner city school. Kids are too wild

Are these the areas I keep seeing videos from where the kids act like animals and beat up teachers?

Come on, give these kids a break. They have enough disadvantages in life already. Can't the school boards or Department of Education enact legislation to overcome this discrepancy? 😧

Merry Christmas, The angel said to the shepherds, “Do not be afraid, for see, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people. For there is born to you, this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.

Wow, you mean law abiding citizens don’t want to live in democrat ran crime infested areas? SHOCKER! Why don’t you focus on reporting crime and hold politicians and their failed policies accountable? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

'hey, poor kids are just as bright as White kids... C'mon man.' -Joe Biden

It will only get worse with the boarder opened.

No kidding. These are also the districts that pay even LESS than the average starvation wages.

Underpaid and unruly students, can’t blame them

What's new?

Don’t worry there’s a crop of Black teachers about to graduate we’ll take it

Perhaps those parents would like to have their properties assessed higher they can pay higher taxes. Parents cld also discipline their kids instead of wanting to be BFF’s. Teachers aren’t responsible for rearing Kids that’s called parenting …. IMO

more far-left divisive propaganda from NBC”news”

Support School choice

There's a lot of student-on-staff violence in those schools with a 'save the child' first mentality that prohibits involving the police..

I Wonder why?

That’s RACIST!!!! Let’s blame someone

Keep sending money to Ukraine war fund that will help

This is pure class division

Teachers are leaving because kids are not brought up properly, they are poorly behaved, disrespectful and do not value education. Poor parenting=poor student performance!

Because the crime doesn't just exist outside of the schools in these neighborhoods it's inside the schools I don't blame the teachers one bit it's the parents fault for raising these disrespectful animals who don't deserve to live

Because they were forced to take the jab or quit. Hmm go figure

So the dems win elections, but the people who vote them in suffer the consequences. Sounds about right.

Thanks to the teachers unions and WOKE schools boards turning them into hell holes.

High number of minority means they r in majority. Their majority produces this issue. No one else to blame

Violence is reason.

Can't imagine why. .

You mean in democratic cities? Don't worry, we're not surprised.

Send your thank you cards to the teachers unions, DNC, CDC and Fauci.

Thanks to the democrats

Pay better, service better.

A lot of these schools tend to pay more people just don’t want to work there

Elections have consequences

Who would have thought that an education system based on the Prussian model which was overtly designed to create obedient factory workers would fail us in these modern times.

Folks in those communities don't want to educate the youth?

They're the worst behaved with the worst kind of parents. It all starts with shitty parents. 90% of the worst ones are Conservative too.

Because no teacher in their right mind wants to deal with the bullshit and crime. This cannot be fixed with tax dollars. It needs to be fixed by a return to 2 parent homes not living on the government teet

I would teach anywhere. I like my SD but I miss my city.

We've see the world star videos that explain why.

Teachers are treated with no respect.

I can't imagine why?

Hmmm: low wages, bad admin, student behavior w/no consequences, device distractions, rudeness, moldy/old bldgs, disrespect, unsupportive parents, shootings & gun drills, illness exposures, endless hrs, ^curriculum changes, minimal support…🤔

The Republican “southern strategy’s” main points was to underfund government services through tax cuts for the wealthy with the expressed goal of hurting minorities. They literally told us the game plan 50 years ago

Earth shattering news here folks! Anyone there got the guts to talk about why? Hell no!

I’m sure it has nothing to do with 78% are born out of wedlock in the urban city ! surely that has nothing to do with it ! Takes two in this America to raise and pay for kids !! Not a mom plus the government ! But mom plus dad !!

These Democrat areas are high crime and Teachers are attacked by the students

Ppl disrespected teachers til they had Covid. U don’t pay them and want them to put up with the mess. Now there should b unions, and big pay for teachers at least $100,000 a year. Either pay them or parents teach ur children.

Do you guys still count asians as minority students.

Why? Tell us

Talk to the teacher unions. They became so political ...then govt forced vaccines. Many teachers left.

Duh.

Well when a good many of the children don't have the nuclear family, a good many more than would otherwise turn out to be overly disrespectful and disruptive. NO ONE REPORTS ON THIS because racism etc. etc. They'd rather keep doing the same thing that hasn't worked.

Sadly, in related news, schools with high numbers of parents who don’t give a bleep 🤬 are extremely hard to teach in.

It takes a special soul to deal with the abuse and low pay teachers get in those schools.

Democrats still working their magic...

Well, who would want to teach in a shit environment like that?

Thanks Captain Obvious

Just what the tyrants wanted

Why do you think that is? Unruly behavior maybe?

Maybe if the schools were safer they might come back. Instead the governor's like Abbott put guns before teachers and students safety.

Hence Why theres been an increase in rainbow haired freaks from TikTok teaching made up genders to little kids

Pay them more. Simple solution.

I couldn't imagine the stress that teachers across the country are going through these days. I work in the restaurant business and I truly feel for them.

simple solution would be to pay the teachers more but this country is so backwards it’ll never happen
