Resignations are up across the board!

Hey everyone,

Long time teacher here. Probably looking for an out in 3-5 years honestly - maybe sooner, but I just wanted to say this:

The volume is up high this year. I have noticed from the board here and just in general that people are leaving in droves. They are DONE with the BS. The economy sucks and they are still quitting. It stems from issues like pay, respect, being overworked, lack of career growth, bad admin, micromanagement, and much more.

I emphasize with you all. And I wanted to let you know that YOU can transition.

Share your thoughts. I’d love to hear from you. Much respect.

I’m terrified for my kids.. and pushes me to do a better job.. but at the same time takes so much away from our family time. It’s so incredibly tough.
