    And YF again brings up the select quoting. Here's the remainder of the graf and the next one:

    According to their own web site, right now they have a grand total of 12 people on academic staff.

    Three other academic departments don't have any. As noted, three teachers have left and not been replaced. Yet, you want to make it seem like there's a huge epidemic of teachers on disability, when in reality, the numbers are so small it's not even worth noting.

    And at the end of the story, they filled the three open positions, except another teacher resigned. Sounds like it may be a personnel problem instead of a disability problem.

    The invisible hand is telling you to raise wages.

    Now that I think of it, with that quote on the teachers wanting to sub instead of teach, I'm guessing that a regular teacher's wages at the school is low enough that it's better to sub teach, and not have the responsibility of grading papers and making lesson plans, than to be a teacher there.
