Important new evidence from the great team at University of Arkansas that the "bench" of potential teachers who already have their teaching credentials & are working in public schools but not yet teaching is a lot shorter than we've found using older data in WA: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

If you want absolute, irrefutable proof of the stagnation of western culture, consider that in about seven weeks' time, the release of Depeche Mode's "Just Can't Get Enough" will be closer in time to the Hindenburg disaster than to the present day.
