I would posit that “teacher flight” has more to do with content than race. Then again, many “retired” when faced with take the shot or else.

One problem with teacher flight is that many teachers went into teaching not because it was their calling, but because it was an easy degree. So many young adults were told to go into college first and pick a career while in college. Thus while in college they choose for the easy way to "finish" --- with an Education major being a lot easier than majoring in engineering or computer science.

When there's no vision the people perish. I try to encourage high schoolers to pick a career before going to college and, after having picked the career, talk to people already in that career to ask them what training or college is good for that industry.

I resigned as a board member and president of a charter school after 16 years when it became apparent that Common Core and its data collection system on students was the Ark of the Covenant that could not be touched. CC wreaked havoc on our staff(no union). We lost 20% of our staff in one year and the exit interviews pointed to “dissatisfaction with the new curriculum.” Modern education is junk. The credentialing of teachers is the biggest scam in education. What is an education degree? A degree in methodology with proficiency and knowledge in nothing. We would be much better off with people knowledgeable in a particular field without all the clutter of “teaching” classes.

The only solution for parents today is homeschooling.
