> I saw a poll of teachers a while ago (which I currently can’t find again…) which stated the top issues causing them to want to leave were, in order:
> 
> - Pandemic related issues/burnout
> - Classroom behaviour of students
> - Student absenteeism
> - Politics in schools (from both sides - Woke teachers feeling attacked, non-woke not liking being forced to teach woke politics and feeling marginalized)
> - General lack of respect from admin, parents, students
> - Pay/Benefits

Putting this here as there only probably needs to be one pit thread dedicated to a person active at a time.

“I don’t have a cite, but I saw a study somewhere where the 4th most important issue causing teachers want to quit is a tie between “woke” teachers being attacked, and non-woke teachers being forced to teach “woke politics” in school.”

Sure, dude. Sure.
