Video: Why Teachers Quit
Bored Teachers is a well-known brand of humor for teachers by teachers. But sometimes they post things that are more serious, like this video that captures the vast response to an earlier video about teachers leaving the profession. 20,000 responses!
This video breaks the “why I’m quitting” responses into four problem areas. Yes, this is anecdotal, but it also captures what is going on out there for many teachers in the classroom. Students who can’t regulate, parents who don’t parent, administrators who don’t back teachers up, and a system that has dropped more work on teachers with less support.
It’s just a seven minute watch, but it certainly speaks to what many are feeling, and asks the big question-- what will be the result?
Unfortunately, this is accurate to my own experiences teaching in the classroom post pandemic.
Wow - so, so accurate!
