SW FL teachers leaving in droves. Warn of bigger teacher shortages. Salary is the issue! [View all]

Once again, it’s simply unaffordable to teach! Do not do it!!

There are conservatives who literally say they must keep teaching salaries low so that unions, who draw from salaries, can’t make money either!

This is infuriating! Stay away from education as a career!!!


Don’t do it. That’s what some teachers are ready to tell students looking to become educators.

WINK News sat down with a panel of five teachers who want to tell the public why they think we have a teacher shortage.

Last year, the School District of Lee County lost 24.9 percent of its teachers according to their website. Charlotte County says they lost 18.71 percent and Collier County 10.71 percent.
