Everyone knows teachers work hard and are not always paid accordingly. What some people might not realize is that lots of young teachers are not sticking around for the long term and are leaving the schools and the students after only a couple of years. Dewey addresses this issue in this article and gives a lot of good facts, statistics, and evidence to get her point across. She uses some emotional language with her word choice, but she mostly focuses on the facts. Because these statistics are so startling, the facts are a good way to get us to see how big an issue this is and to get us to want to make a change. As a society, we should want to put a lot of effort, time, and money into the future generation, the kids. To do that, we must focus on education and the educators who teach the kids.

The population in Florida saw a very large increase from the 1950s and beyond. The space program in the 1950s provided thousands of jobs. It also improved the economy. It was called the space race as the USA and Russia were trying to see who could put a man on the moon first. What was one of the disadvantages of this quick increase in population and jobs?

Please help me.
also here's this if you want to listen to it instead of reading:
One night in autumn a few men were gathered about a fire on a hill. They belonged to a small detachment of Confederate forces. Their gray uniforms were worn beyond the point of shabbiness. One of the men was heating something in a tin cup over the embers. Two were lying at full length a little distance away, while a fourth was trying to decipher a letter and had drawn close to the light. He had unfastened his collar and a good bit of his flannel shirt front.

"What's that you got around your neck, Ned?" asked one of the men.

Ned—or Edmond—mechanically fastened another button of his shirt and did not reply. He went on reading his letter.

"Is it your sweetheart's picture?"

"Taint no gal's picture," offered the man at the fire. "That's a charm. Hey, French! Ain't I right?" Edmond looked up absently from his letter.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Ain't that a charm you got round your neck?"

"It must be, Nick," returned Edmond with a smile. "I don't know how I could have gone through this year and a half without it."

The letter had made Edmond heartsick and homesick. He stretched himself on his back and looked straight up at the blinking stars. But he was not thinking of them nor of anything but a certain spring day when a girl was saying goodbye to him. He could see her as she unclasped from her neck the locket which she fastened about his own. It was an old fashioned golden locket bearing miniatures of her father and mother. It was her most precious earthly possession. Edmond could feel again the folds of the girl's soft white gown and see the droop of the angel-sleeves as she circled her fair arms about his neck. Her sweet face, tormented by the pain of parting, appeared before him as vividly as life. He turned over, burying his face in his arm and there he lay, still and motionless. . . .

Octavie wore a plain black dress, severe in its simplicity. A narrow belt held it at the waist and the sleeves were gathered into close fitting wristbands. She had discarded her hoopskirt and appeared not unlike a nun. Beneath the folds of her bodice nestled the old locket. She never displayed it now. It had returned to her sanctified in her eyes; made precious as material things sometimes are by being forever identified with a significant moment of one's existence. . . .

Octavie felt as if she had passed into a stage of existence which was like a dream, more poignant and real than life. There was the old gray house with its sloping eaves. Amid the blur of green, and dimly, she saw familiar faces and heard voices as if they came from far across the fields, and Edmond was holding her. It was as if the spirit of life and the awakening spring had given back the soul to her youth and bade her rejoice.
