1. Bye to all the entitled teachers that don't want to do their jobs. Byeeeee!

2. Why would anyone in the private sector want to take a pay cut to become a teacher? Or are the going to pay those teachers more, starting out?

3. A couple of reasons teachers are leaving: Bullying and lack of respect from Campus Administrators (Principals & Asst. Principals).

4. The single most valuable lesson public school teachers could impart to students is valuing themselves by leaving. Teaching young people that there is something noble about needlessly self sacrificing is doing no one any benefit other than big business that enjoys a labor force that does not demand better. Teachers leaving is an incredible thing to happen!

5. @00:56 is that an MS13 Teacher ? School uniform for students but you come in looking like Butch…

6. Teacher shortages are not a new thing. Maybe education shouldn't be so expensive for these jobs that barely pay for a roof over your head. To teach elementary, we should have apprenticeship programs that pay while you learn the job.

7. Covid|9 is accumulative and permanently stay at human body's T-Cell then cause it malfunction to replicate, destroy and spread even you have fully recovered from covid infection or fully vaccinated. 
   Covid|9 has the structure of HIV whereby vaccine to deceive your immunity system to create T-Cell perish together with the virus just like overclocking iMmunity system temporarily but unable to deceive the new variant.

8. I just quit last Friday after 15 years.

9. teachers go abroad!!! better kids…better parents…just everything is better. I hope American families are ready to homeschool

10. All covid? No, take into account of teachers being harassed and threatened by government and politics or the fact like TikTok making challenges of assaulting staff members. Yes covid plays a part but only a part. Trying to force teachers to use pronouns is a part. Threatening teachers for students faults is a problem. And medias like TikTok getting children to abuse and assault staff members is a problem. Well guess they're done and say figure it out yourself because I'm not teaching these kids no more if all I'm going to do is be put at risk, abused, threatened, and assaulted.

11. decade long issue

12. Districts blaming COVID…pathetic. Teachers are realizing their worth and leaving the profession! 👏🏻

13. The pplandemic destroyed abs is continuing to destroy our economy as planned

14. People are so gung ho, to get their kids back to their babysitter, that no one considered that teachers support staff are human beings too! I’ll just leave that right there…..

15. Well done teachers for choosing your mental health and well-being. I would not want to teach for all the cash in the world. The parents are so disrespectful and unable to manage their children’s behavior. Teachers are expected to teach, purchase supplies, and parent the children at the same time. No thanks keep your teachers certificate. I’m good

16. My pay has been frozen 15 years out of 30 years of teaching here in VIRGINIA.

17. Cameras in all public classrooms. No more🛑 trusting strangers with our kids, for hours and hours per week WITHOUT supervision….

18. Chindrens going to school and teachers not vaccinated 😏🤬

19. JOHN 3:16 KJV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

20. Work retail that's even worse

21. Teachers have been spending their own money for year to supply their students. The past tax break was only $250 a year for teachers. How many parents see the contrast of the cost.

22. Teaching sucks, but nursing is the worst on earth.

23. Well yeah, cause teachers dont wanna go to school to risk their lives when kids arent having to wear masks and the kids parents are antimaskers and antivaxxers, no paycheck is worth your health and well being.

24. The turnover rate has been crazy in the past 5 years. We've had new teachers quitting constantly, many to take a nonteaching job. We've only kept 1 teacher out of college in the past 3 years; all of the others couldn't take the stress. In the past 5 years, we've only retained 2 new hirees, 1 a 3rd year teacher and the other came from another district–this one is her hometown where she went to school (out of at least 15 that we've hired to replace teachers who quit–not retired, and I work in a tiny district with only 18 general ed. teachers k-6). We've had 3 kindergarten teachers quit in 5 years, so I decided to move from 2nd down to kindergarten since I will be staying and we need a strong foundation (teachers leaving constantly don't help build this foundation). One kindergarten teacher quit in November, to leave for a less paying job at a private school that had only 12 students in the class; the class she left had 30 kindergartners. I have over 20 years experience, so I have too much to lose if I leave. But the past 10 years have been highly stressful, so it's not all from Covid.

25. All parents should pull their kids out of school- homeschool. The best part of Covid is it has opened the eyes to how corrupt our schools are. Unlike the teachers who are crying over the shortage- come work a day in my shoes. Wait until over 50% of healthcare quits over the vaccine mandate. Patients will die- not from Covid, from lack of healthcare providers to take care of them!!!!

26. I never understood why teachers have to come out of there own pocket to purchase school supplies, when they're already grossly underpaid. I mean what's going on with the School Budget? and providing the teachers with the tools and supplies necessary to educate the future. Teachers should be one of the highest paid professions, and parents need to step up & be more involved to back them up regarding whatever support they need. Even if that means taking on the whole educational system.

27. I was a teacher and quit in may, much happier now!

28. Where do the money go? School administration and unions. Duh?!
    Follow the MONEY!

29. If people want their kids educated, let them home school. If they can’t afford it, they shouldn’t have kids. Teachers are not being respected and instead of academics, they are hired to indoctrinate kids with CRT and woke ignorance. Sending your kids to school is sending them to be brainwashed.

30. Total victim mentality grow up and pull up your boot straps

31. Never forgive student loans people have a responsibility to pay back what they owe

32. Teachers are whining and they are staying out cause of Covid the science is not thier to Justify that stand

33. You don’t like the pay go find a profession that pays more

34. Teacher know what teachers make before they go to school it’s thier choice to teach

35. How pathetic don’t teachers know the science how pathetic

36. Unlike Nurses teachers are whimps

37. While the no reason go to school

39. I’m so sorry for the stress you all are experiencing. I don’t have children, so I had no idea. You all are so so appreciated!

40. Americans DO NOT respect nor support education! The USA is an extremely backward country. They’ve never supported their teachers.

41. Pay is not the problem. THE PROBLEM IS RETENTION. Teachers quit the first week, the first year.
    Fix the education problems: large class sizes, violent kids…

43. They are overworked and underpaid!

44. Congrats to all the teachers that retired or quit!❤️🙌🏽🥳

45. The behavior in schools is awful!! 37 students in a classroom. Stupid!!!

46. If you can afford it, retire. If you can't, change careers. I'm looking to get out of education altogether. I am tired of being overworked and underpaid. I'm tired of not being appreciated. I can't believe I went to school for 6 years to get paid nothing and get no benefits because I'm an independent contractor. I'm out.

47. Yea.. Well.. I'd rather homeschool. Honestly just done with the school system, the whole thing is toxic.

48. I left 6 years ago due to violent children. Their parents were equally violent.

    I can only imagine what it’s like with this mask situation.

    I pray every day to not have to go back to teaching.

49. Doctors and nurses – shortage
    Teachers – shortage

    What next?
    Shortages of essential workers and infrastructure workers???
