Across the country, some teachers are deciding not to return to the classroom this September. The pandemic didn't create the problem of teacher burnout, but it made a bad situation worse. Fed up with low pay, hampered by partisan politics intruding in the classroom, and shaken by the recent Uvalde shooting, many say they have reached their breaking point.
Teacher vacancies have left school districts across the U.S. scrambling to find enough qualified faculty for the fall. In some areas, competition for teachers is fierce, and schools are finding creative ways to hold on to existing teachers and attract new talent.
Host Don Gonyea speaks with John Kuhn, Superintendent of Mineral Wells Independent School District in Texas, about the bold changes he made to retain teachers.

The Gist - BEST OF THE GIST: The Fall And Rise Of Adam Neumann
Adam Neumann, the once founder of WeWork, who was famously dismissed from the helm of his own company (many books and TV shows ensued), is back on the business scene. He recently received a $350-million check from venture capital firm a16z to help him launch his new project, Flow, which will focus on a sort of rent-to-own business model. But the check he received touched off a firestorm in the world of start-ups, where, many say, most of the investment capital goes to white men.
In this installment of Best Of The Gist, we listen back to Mike’s November 26, 2020 interview with Reeves Weideman, contributing editor at New York magazine and author of Billion Dollar Loser: The Epic Rise and Spectacular Fall of Adam Neumann and WeWork. Weideman explains the internal drama inside Neumann’s fast-scaling, overly hyped WeWork, an office space leasing company billed as an in-person social network, as well as the lessons entrepreneurs can learn from disruptors attempting to grow quickly and remain profitable. Then we listen to Mike’s Spiel from this past Tuesday about how Neumann’s new funding has induced rage for some.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Updated Boosters, Flu Season & What’s Next?
When it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re in a much better spot today than we have been in the last couple of years. Still, public health experts want people to be aware of steps they can take now to avoid another surge this winter, especially with flu season right around the corner.
Our guest today is epidemiologist and data scientist Dr. Katelyn Jetelina. She has a popular newsletter on Substack, and you may know her on social media as “Your Local Epidemiologist.” She works in health policy at Meadows Institute and is a senior scientific advisor for numerous nonprofit and government agencies. She was even recently invited to the White House to share her expertise.
Dr. Jetelina is giving us a snapshot of where the pandemic stands right now. We’re talking about the updated booster shots on their way and I ask her a more personal question about vaccines for kids. Then, what she’s expecting for this year’s flu season and she offers us some hope for a future with no COVID-19 at all.
