re: 2/3 of teachers surveyed in Texas considering going peace out

I teach in a public school (albeit in the STEM program) and I love it. One thing that helps me, I think, is that I worked outside of teaching for a long time before switching over.
I follow a lot of teaching sites on Facebook and such and I have to say I think a lot of the complaints teachers have is they don't really have a good feel for what the outside workplace is and so they tend to think they have it worse than other places.
I think more people going into teaching after spending time in the outside workforce would probably be beneficial. All the teachers I know who were construction managers or chiropractors or pharmacists or in radio or even acting are very good teachers.
That is not to say there are no other problems, but I think they are more societal problems that don't start in the education system and that the current education system will not be able to correct.

I think this is true. I worked retail management for several years before I went into teaching and would never go back to that if I can help it. Crap hours and not much better pay and dealing with the public in a retail setting gets old really quickly.

lots of teachers and principals are people who have been "in school" as students or employees for their entire lives (i find this pretty crazy tbh). wtf do they know about "working"?
