I don’t know the stats, but more teachers quit than you would think. Both of my parents were teachers and it isn’t the cake job many people make it out to be. There’s a reason I never considered it for myself and it has nothing to do with money.
I never said it WAS a cake job. As I said, everyone has issues with parts of their job. I could not teach in a public school - I could, but I would probably be fired the first day. If I could teach with the same ability my teachers had, it’d be different. I probably could teach in private schools without much problem.
What I am saying is that teachers make a choice to go into teaching. If it’s really not tolerable, like any job, you need to leave and get a different job. I had plenty of friends at school who went into teaching because it was one of the easiest schools to get a degree in (they always were shocked at what I was taking in engineering).
