East Baton Rouge school system has hired more than 600 educators, but lost about 400 who have resigned or retired.
So that is 400 idiots who accepted the job without doing any research.
Those 400, showed up on the 1st day, regretted their uninformed decision, walked out and said, "Oh, hell no. I ain't putting up with them bad arse kids. HELL NO".

Need to hire more male teachers. I’d even support paying men more than women for the same to attract them to the job.
They already make 30% more.

The issue is behavior. While it's always been there, schools enforce discipline less and less and less. There are almost no consequences for students.
Add to that the consequences are not a deterrent to the bad behavior. None of the kids who are behavior issues give a single shite about detentions, PAC/ISS, or out of school suspension. In fact, most are actually motivated TO receive these. The real consequences for them are having to go to class. Their behavior is as much an avoidance technique as anything else.

Roomy at LSU taught history 5 years, left and became a financial planner.

The amount of BS that teachers have to ensure just isn't worth it. If they'd just let them teach and cut out all the other unnecessary crap there would be less issues w/ retention.

They are having trouble at all levels, halfway through my masters I was getting job offers to start at the college level DURING my masters program. No thanks. It is about $80k, but seems like little room for growth without a PHD and who wants to do that BS.

Per Google:
In the East Baton Rouge Parish School District, the student body is predominantly Black (68.3%), followed by Hispanic/Latino (14.7%), White (11.5%), and Asian/Pacific Islander (3.7%).

The traditional education model is ripe for a shakeup.
AI tutors, baby sitters, video lectures from real experts, etc should do the trick.
There is no teacher shortage because we don’t need them.

If there were two committed parents in every child’s life, this statistic is cured.
Bad parenting = high teacher turnover = worse school experience for the kids with committed parents.
The highest leverage for good world outcomes sits in parenting.

I can’t imagine being a teacher in most public schools. The kids get away with so much. The parents take the kids’ side over the teacher, and society as a whole is becoming trashier and less disciplined.

I'd be willing to bet that on the few occasions there was interest from the students in the lesson/activity/etc, it was extremely satisfying for him.

Hell, even one, if they really focused on making their kids better people as opposed to “how dare you expect anything from my baby!”

Turnover is a tricky term. Are they including retirement as well?
Yes

Or the ones arrested for sexing up students?

They could increase retention just by cutting half the damn paperwork.
All the administrator theyeb added above the teachers coming up with more shite to fill out.
All the computer shite they expect them to fill out on a daily basis to have grades updated live and by the minute. When do they want them to actually teach?
Changing curriculums ever 2 years to the next fad throwing good money after bad.
Spend a fortune on technology and piss it away.
Having teachers work games and after school shite to the point they can't care for their families.
Summers full of workshops and summer credit hours to keep up for continuing learning.
When my wife worked she got maybe 3 actual weeks off during the summer.
Add on top the behavior and dysfunction it's a circus.
Cut half the administration. Half the paperwork. Shitcan the computers and prometheus boards.
Buy a legit classical curriculum and not hair brained shite created by UCLA college kids and take all those savings a boost teachers pay.
Actually bring back discipline.

This isn’t rocket science. The teachers get knocked up and many don’t return to work until their kids start school, if at all.

But, generally, we still associate the principal as male and a few male HS teachers who were also coaches.
I’ve taught in three states for a bit of time. Most of the male teachers were sports coaches. The ESL students call every male teacher coach.
