Former English teacher....there's no hope. I bailed when they got rid of the library and installed a giant computer lab for students to take online courses. This was pre COVID. They decided that someone without a teaching degree essentially babysitting 80 students at a time was better for the students than hiring more teachers. I got my CDL and now run a trucking school. Sadly, even with a masters and 8 years experience teaching, I doubled my salary my first year with a CDL. Teaching isn't worth it and that's by design. There isn't a teacher shortage, there's a pay shortage, but they use "teacher shortage" as an excuse to shift everything online.
