A teacher with 15 years of experience makes $80K. I see two issues : 1) $80K is not enough 2) it takes to long to reach the top of the salary scale

But I'm not sure that salaries are the main reason there's a teachers shortage.

My wife who is a teacher in the LBPSB says there is no shortage of teachers in the English School boards,all those vacancys are in the French sector.

$80k is not enough for a grade school teacher?? Really? That's a pretty handsome salary...
