[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does that mean, No one is acknowledging? It's all anyone talks about! [/quote]

+2 I’m literally so tired of hearing teachers complain [/quote]

You chose to come online to complain about people complaining, just as an fyi. You don't have to do that[/quote]

NP, but it's [i]ev.ery.where[/i]. On FB. On the apps my kids' teachers use, on major news sites, etc. Constantly seeing whining about how their job is so uniquely hard.

They remind me of emo teenagers: "no one will understand me! my life is just so, so hard, and so difficult. You see, I am unique in human history--a noble beautiful soul simply put upon."

Like ugh, go listen to Imagine Dragons and let the rest of us live in peace.[/quote]

We are leaving don't worry;)[/quote]

That’s why I don’t get some of the responses on this thread. There have been many attempts to explain why the teaching profession is in crisis. They haven’t been complaints; instead, they have been detailed explanations of why teaching does have some unique challenges.

Instead of listening to the people who are in the profession, several posters need to disparage teachers at every turn. Who loses? Eventually we all do. I just found out YET ANOTHER department member is quitting. We’ve turned over 80% of our department in 4 years, and the replacements can’t do it. They are quitting, too. Who is going to teach?

We are leaving because we can, and we are finding easier jobs that pay more. Don’t believe us? It doesn’t matter. We are watching our coworkers do it, so we know it’s quite possible.

We lowered our hiring standards again for next year. I don’t have much hope, and I know that means more parents are going to have their children transferred into my class to avoid the unqualified replacements. I’ll then feel even more overwhelmed than I do now, and I’ll eventually fold.
