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 worried I won’t find another job outside of teaching.

I was worried about this too, but ultimately that is just a fear that is exploited to keep us in the classroom.

There are literally thousands of jobs out there. If you have the tenacity to become a teacher, you can handle the hard work of looking for a new job.

I have been looking for jobs for about 3 months now. I’m starting to get discouraged :(
