teachers or their family members have tested positive for COVID-19. </span> <span data-start-time='9021' data-end-time='12000'>They must stay home from work. </span> <span data-start-time='12000' data-end-time='18063'>As a result, there are not enough fill-ins to take their place.</span> <span data-start-time='18063' data-end-time='22542'>The fill-in teachers are called substitutes.</span> <span data-start-time='22542' data-end-time='32146'>Early this year, in one part of Texas, the schools needed 455 substitutes in a single day. </span> <span data-start-time='32146' data-end-time='36458'>They usually need only 185.</span> <span data-start-time='36458' data-end-time='51813'>To help with the lack of teachers, leaders in California, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania are asking retired teachers to come back to work for a short time. </span> <span data-start-time='51813' data-end-time='59688'>In the states of Oklahoma and Utah, government workers are being asked to step in at schools.</span> <span data-start-time='59688' data-end-time='71875'>This helps schools stay open, which experts say is better for children than staying at home as they did earlier in the COVID-19 pandemic.</span> <span data-start-time='71875' data-end-time='84000'>However, in the southwestern state of New Mexico, some students are being welcomed in their classrooms by soldiers from the Army National Guard.</span> <span data-start-time='84000' data-end-time='88083'>Michael Stockwell is one of those soldiers. </span> <span data-start-time='88083' data-end-time='99146'>During past military jobs, he watched part of the U.S. border with Mexico and worked to keep the New Mexico state Capitol safe.</span> <span data-start-time='99146' data-end-time='110521'>Now, he is wearing his military uniform as he works with students as a substitute science teacher at Alamogordo High School.</span> <span data-start-time='110521' data-end-time='117958'>When he works with teenagers, Stockwell said, he cannot “act Army.” </span> <span data-start-time='117958' data-end-time='122938'>He said he needs to be careful with how he speaks with them.</span> <span data-start-time='122938' data-end-time='131563'>Due to the teacher shortage in New Mexico, many members of the National Guard are now working in schools. </span> <span data-start-time='131563' data-end-time='139813'>In 36 of the state's 89 school zones, or districts, Guard members are working.</span> </p></div><div class='control-buttons-sticky'
