As the school term ends, New York is no closer to solving its acute shortage of certified teachers than it was earlier in the year.
The city’s attempt to resolve its education plight is aptly illustrated by the story of Pe-ter DeMarco, formerly an aspiring comedian, who was recruited to teach English in the city’s high schools. Mr. DeMarco and about 300 other people joined the teaching ranks under the New York Teaching Fellows program, an initiative set up to fill numerous "technical vacancies" that are usually filled by teachers lacking full certification.
Some 2,300 people from as far away as South Africa and Nigeria applied for the scheme. The successful candidates underwent an intensive induction program at the City University of New York during the summer and were sent to classrooms at the beginning of the school year. Most were sent to schools in troubled parts of the city.
For many, including Mr. DeMarco, becoming a teacher meant a pay cut. "But I am not doing this for money. . . I am doing it for some meaning, and to make an impact on some lives," he says.
Now, at 38, after a variety of jobs—including stand-up comedy and acting roles—he says he is "finally where I want to be". Teaching is difficult but satisfying, Mr. DeMarco says. He liked the job a week into it and still likes it now, months later. He plans to teach through the two years required by the program, and possibly even longer. "Tough as they are, the kids are great. .. some of their writing and creativity, it is just phenomenal. "
People like Mr. DeMarco "demonstrated concern for the quality of teaching in New York schools", says Harold Levy, chancellor of the state’s board of education. His board estimates New York will need 40,000 to 55,000 more teachers than it expects to get over the next five years. Colleges are not producing enough teachers, he says. Teacher shortage is a national problem in the U. S. , art issue highlighted in this year’s presidential election.
It can be inferred from the passage that the author thinks .
