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
