Now 10-15 years we have a shortage of teachers....shocking.

Yes, I recall the time when there was a super abundance of teachers. I think the biggest mistake they made at the time was trying to solve the problem by encouraging all the "Master Teachers" to resign by offering them packages. I believe the profession suffered a huge loss as a result, as there was a large deficit of the highly skilled mentors for all the younger teachers.
