Monica Bentley is the administrator for Edison Academy in the American state of Virginia. The academy helps students learn about things like computer security, car repair, hair and beauty care and supervising a professional kitchen.
Bentley has many years of experience helping students learn about
careers. But she recently had trouble persuading one student her daughter to try out a job training class at the academy.
“She didn’t want to travel,” Bentley said of her daughter, whose main school is about 30 minutes away from the career training center. “I wasn’t going to make her do it, but I think it would have been a great opportunity.”

Workers aren’t working for the wages we’re offering as much as they used to. Five million fewer Americans are working now than were working in June of 2019. That’s 3.33% of the U.S. labor force a shortage! Think about what that means: 3.33% fewer pool boys at the spa, 3.33% fewer caddies at the country club, 3.33% fewer ball girls at the tennis club. Just the other day, I had to wait more than 30 minutes for my lobster bisque. Today, I called my service, and they couldn’t schedule anyone to clean my house until the middle of next week! If this keeps up, who’s going to iron my shirts? It’s a crisis.

JTA Public school unions in the US are increasingly becoming a hotbed of Israel discourse, with the largest teachers’ union becoming the latest organized body to deliberate measures that censure Israel and support the Palestinian cause.
At the National Education Association’s annual meeting held earlier this month (with US President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden, a longtime educator, in attendance), members planned to debate two items on Israel and the Palestinians among the more than 60 items on its virtual agenda. Both sought to make the union publicize some measure of support for the Palestinians and oppose the actions of the Israeli government in the wake of May’s outbreak of violence in Israel and Gaza.
