My wife has applied for 20 different districts. She has 10 years experience and has not gotten many call backs.

They're talking about how there's a teacher shortage, but you can't find a job.

Districts are desperate and are hiring under qualified people. If she doesn’t have something after that many applications then something is flagging for them.

That's probably true. A lot of positions are filled internally by student teachers who graduated. They get paid peanuts.
