School District depriving kids

-

This teacher shortage problem has become a perpetual problem.

Children are being deprived of an adequate education.

Distributi­ng a Chromebook to each student and teaching them how to use it is not the solution, and it does not provide an education.

And just which schools suffer the most from the teacher shortages?

I’m betting that the schools in Green Valley, Summerlin, Centennial Hills and the new little “cities” being built south of Blue Diamond Road will not bear the brunt of the incompeten­ce and ineptness of those being elected to manage one of the nation’s largest school districts.

Neither will importing teachers from other nations whose first language is not English but who are willing to work for lower wages and endure the other problems plaguing the Clark County School District.
