Teacher Supply, Demand and Shortages in the U.S.”" It also claims nearly 2/3 of teachers leave before retirement age. If teaching is supposed to be [b]such a cushy job[/b], "summers off, home by 3", and so well paid with great benefits ... why aren't people rushing to become teachers? [/quote] Low pay, low respect, a lot of demands from administration and parents, not enough support for the kids who need it.[/quote]
