I left a teaching job after a student threatened me in a class The principal took as a joke and ignored it If the student had hit me, I know I would have fought back and charged of hitting a minor (17 years old), so I resigned The same student threw a chair at a female teacher a month later She also resigned, apart from being physically injured Parents were dismissive Administrators care only about looking good Politicians see teachers as an easy target to blame for any problem they can solve Comment from : Victor |

Republican long term plan,make kids stupid and uneducated Those are the type of people theydan easily manipulate Comment from : Darcy |

The last Teacher I spoke too, who is currently making six figs a year, said that they just pass the kids through the system, nobody cares about the quality of their education So, teachers can complain about the pay, but from what I see, the kids are just being passed through either way, high teacher's pay or not Teachers need a livable wage and the kids need to show up and be ready to learngood luck balancing those out in the USA IMO, it's all going to get much worse before it gets betterthere are solutions, but nobody wants to listen Comment from : John Stibal |
 |
Because they can move to other states and make more money Ohio's minimum wage is $2 an hour more Comment from : Gina Point |
 |
The solution is easy: Let them all coach footballbrbrI'm being facetious, but there's a kernel of truth to it Edward Luce wrote a 2012 book "Time To Start Thinking" In it he cited a story from the Austin-American Statesman: "the average salary for a high school sports coach in Texas is $73,000, versus $42,000 for a teacher in any other field in the same grade"brbrLuce also mentions the story of Randy deVelbiss, who quit teaching because his administration sided with parents whenever he disciplined a student, or gave a poor grade It all sounds too familiar Comment from : Chris Winter |
 |
That is absolutely ridiculous Comment from : Manny Lin |
|
|
So correct Comment from : Manny Lin |

Suicide amongst teachers around the world is alarming 4 teachers in a week ? In South Korea Parents teach your children to be respectful and be quiet in class, leave your damn phones at home, stop being mouthy to teaches and parents knock it off with bullying these teachers because your angel got a bad mark or in trouble Pay your teachers, have the resources in the class Policies are bs I wanted my daughter to be a teacher and now she wants to go back to school to be q teacher and im nervous for her Comment from : Tanya Lee |

Don’t act like y’all don’t know what’s going on Republicans have attacked public schools for decades Now they have made education a business for profit by opening up charter schools funneling money from public schools to charter With that being said? Republicans have hired people to protest and block educational books, attacked teaching styles and made schools unsafe for teachers and children who do not identify with their politics Comment from : TALK ON THA NET |

I definitely emphasize with our educators but unfortunately as a parent I have seen ethical behavior from teachers I read an article a couple of months ago that a teacher from Texas came to work drunk💔brI have seen videos were teachers used slurs etc The good teachers are the ones I fight for Just because a person is a teacher doesn't mean they are principled 🙏 Comment from : Sharonda |
 |
Yet they keep reelecting their gov and representatives Comment from : Mark Hayes |
 |
Maybe stop letting the Republican party demonize teachers and call them woke pedophiles!!! Comment from : ric cantol |
 |
Teaching should be some of the highest paid, highest regarded professionals in our society, maybe they would be more apt to deal with the stresses of the job if they got paid like they were supposed to, kind of like ppl that work on wall street, it's stressful but the pay makes it worth it Shouldn't take a "task force" to figure that out Comment from : TY ANTHONY |
 |
Because our public school system is broken!!! Comment from : ridingwilding760 |
 |
These six ex-teachers were also receiving $270,000+ combined before they quit I know of six good, hard working people who would be happy to receive that And when you throw in insurance, which should help with their medical issues, etc Comment from : Eric B |
 |
It’s so sad to see the quality of education go down, not because of the quality of work these teachers do, but the lack of a quality education from the curriculum they’re supposed to follow…sad 😢 Comment from : SetApart AAY |
 |

Former 4th grade teacher in California I left 9 months ago after the birth of our 9 month old Best decision ever! Now I get to stay home with my 3 kids under 4❤ I do know that when it is time to return to the work field I WILL NOT go back to the classroom I could not continue after my baby bonding time was up with my kids being so young I remember vividly how stressed I would come home My husband and kids were getting the worst of me and it simply was not fair Comment from : Alexis Lilly |
 |
This sounds so accurate as someone who is not a teacher but am an advocate of supporting teachers The craziest part is some of these teachers have children of their own Comment from : Living with Lex |

 |
The goal is to kill public education in Texas Comment from : JakeLong |
 |
Because they are sick in their heads with woke ideologies? Comment from : Raven Youngblood |
 |
If every student came to school with decent behavior, a respectful attitude, and the willingness to try, teaching would be HEAVEN Many of us would (continue to) endure low pay and the other stressors if these conditions were met and we received support from parents and administrators Comment from : D King |
 |
They keep forcing old teachers to retire so they can hire younger teachers for less money Comment from : Jalex |

I'm a teacher in Illinois I stopped teaching in the classroom and now I teach ESL I would never teach in a classroom again Just a few things we deal with regularly The disrespect from administration, parents and children The physical abuse, having idiots that have no background in education making big decisions Did I mention the cost it takes a district to give all of the tests that chilcren have to take now The testing companies are making millions off of this The insane amount of hours, the lack of pay and I completely understand the physical and emotional toll teaching takes on you I was given a substantial raise but I still am burnt out I know this I have 3 years until retirement but I also have other options for jobs I just am so worn out I feel that staying in teaching is unhealthy for me After school this summer I laid on the couch for a month I was so tired just simple things wore me out I want to make it through the year, but I just don't know Comment from : Anne Knudsen |
 |
I am an educator of 27 years I told my personal children-DO NOT major in Education, unless the Nation decides to honor the profession with more respect and money However, I can assure you, it will never happen If government gives you $2,000, more a year they think this is the most exciting news ever Really? $2, 000 unreal Comment from : Tanya Ansley |

Stop admitting half-interested college students into College Teaching programs and half the problem is solved I advise college students at a large Texas university and I have completely stopped writing reference letters or signing applications for 90 of my student advisees who can't think of anything better to do than go into teaching If they don't come to me with solid ideas on how to handle classroom discipline, how to teach a disinterested student, or tell me how to keep one side of the room quietly working while teaching reading to the other side of the room, I don't pass them on Just saying, "I like children" isn't good enough Comment from : Ellie Bellie |

One reason in my opinion why Teachers are resigning is generational drugs and alcohol that's affecting New generations of children, generational drug and alcohol use is making children more aggressive towards teachers, putting stress on them, and drugs are more potent than decades ago, I've noticed myself that people seem to be more psychologically aggressive like my co-workers at my job many of my coworkers do drugs like Marijuana and Methamphetamine The crime rate is at record proportion the US Comment from : Quinton Millett |
