OPINIONS I just love BYU so much.
I have a hard time reconciling the difference in these articles re: Utah's teacher shortage.

From the Linked post talking about Utah's terrible and dire teacher shortage problem. Contrasted with this article dated two days ago with the quote below highlighting how Utah seems to be an outlier on the other end of the spectrum.

https://www.the74million.org/article/new-research-thousands-of-full-time-teacher-jobs-open-in-localized-state-shortages/

Of the nine states where vacancy rates are highest, Mississippi faced the highest vacancy rates, with 68 missing teachers per 10,000 students for the 2021-22 school year. In contrast, Utah’s vacancy rate was less than 1 per 10,000 students. The report does not yet compare these rates over time, because of differences in state data reporting and urgency to understand the most up-to-date vacancies.

Is Utah just filling their shortage with underqualified hires while other states don't fill their shortages with anyone?
