    they’ll be able to bring in volunteer teachers.

    I work in a school, I've never heard of volunteer teachers. There's nobody who will do this job for free lmao, the system has been in slow collapse for a while. Consider that for a new teacher to get their credential, they generally have to work a whole semester without pay as part of "student teaching." While this can be very valuable experience, teachers are usually paying tuition and rent with no income. Covid is only heightening this contradiction.
