Sara Earleywine at Iowa's Hoyt Middle School says she's constantly covering other classrooms, even if it's a totally different subject. She says her peers just can't take it anymore."To lose that passion for a job is incredibly sad. So, it just makes me sad when I have great educators come to me and say, I just can't do this anymore. I just want to go to an office, sit in a cubicle and do my job," Earleywine said. It's not just the teacher shortage slowing down schools. The National Education Association says the omicron surge is impacting substitutes, school nurses, bus drivers, and other staff members.
