Liz Waddick loves to teach her students at Summit High School, but she does not love the position the job puts her in daily.
“If you’re an elementary school teacher and you teach second grade and another second-grade teacher is absent and there’s no one to fill the job, they’re going to ask you to take the other teacher’s class,” Waddick explained. “The work doesn’t stop, the kids don’t just go away. We just assume more responsibilities. We assume more jobs, so that part, that part’s hard.”
“How do I make doctor’s appointments? How do I take kids to their doctor? So that sort of like stress and that guilt compounded on top of the fact that I’m covering for my friends has been a lot,” Waddick said. Coupled with greater expenses here and an additional housing crisis negates any serious benefit. Waddick believes some of her coworkers have left because of that very reason.Waddick believes full funding from the state would be a good step to help mitigate a lot of the shortages they’re seeing, although the Colorado Educators Association told Mountain Newsroom Reporter Spencer Wilson this shortage has been a battle for years now.
