"BOSTON — Monday is the beginning of Teacher Appreciation Week, a time to say thanks for all the hard work taking place in schools. Especially this past year, with all the challenges educators faced with the pandemic. Education was turned upside down.

Concerns are growing about the profession’s future as more teachers retire and fewer college students major in education.

“We’re going to be losing a lot of veteran teachers,” said Patricia Fontaine, a professor of clinical education at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell.

For example, retirement applications jumped 44% in Michigan this year."

This is a sad reality at the same time something that we can capitalize on for the

realization of our dreams. Good luck to everyone who are considering of pursuing their

dreams of teaching in the Land of Milk and Honey. You got a lot of potentials in front of

you!
