Randi Weingarten’s comments came after data showing school closures in the U.S. having a devastating impact on children’s mental health, development and future earnings potential.
In the video interview, Weingarten stressed that there are fewer people going into the teacher profession.
"You have a hot labor market where teachers can get 20% more for the skills and knowledge they have teaching in non-teaching jobs. You have all of the pandemic stress and strain, particularly that kids are coming in with greater needs because of two years of disruption," Weingarten said.
