Proximity Learning, Inc.

We agree with you, Evan Erdberg It's awful reading headlines like: "Several hundred teacher vacancies in one district..." or "Districts are considering a 4 day school week..." And this isn’t just a temporary challenge; it’s a growing crisis affecting tens of thousands of students. Districts are forced to reduce course offerings or consider drastic measures like a four-day school week, leaving many students behind—especially those from underserved communities. At Proximity Learning, we believe every child deserves access to a certified teacher, regardless of where they live or their economic situation. That’s why we’re here, filling vacancies with highly qualified educators, ensuring no student has to sacrifice their education because of a teacher shortage. Let’s stop treating virtual learning as a stopgap. It’s time to embrace innovative solutions to ensure equity in education for all students. #ProximityLearning #TeacherShortageSolutions #EquityInEducation #VirtualLearning #InnovativeInEducation https://lnkd.in/gPtTSCrt
