Crosby ISD moving to 4-day school week due to teacher shortageThe panel discusses Crosby ISD moving school days to a a4-day week and the effect it may have on student's instruction. Pay them more, give them a little support, forget about football, you might be able to retain teachers. I'm glad I don't have small children in that school district and have to work. That's going to cost more in child care for the parents. Suspicious. Not sure how a teacher shortage constitutes a 4-day work week. So 'less' teachers at school means what exactly? My 'public school math' assumes 80% of the kids have teachers and the other 20% is what, self-motivated? Sounds like more kids per classroom.
