Dislikes
The OKGOP platform states we believe in sunset laws, zero based budgeting and performance audits to justify government programs.
Programs like this can help with recruitment, but they typically do not address the deeper reasons people leave the profession, such as: administrative pressure classroom discipline challenges burnout pay competitiveness. So, while they may increase the number of new entrants, they don’t solve retention issues and will still complain about teacher shortages. Appearing to address the issue, without addressing the causes of the issue.
