I am a retired engineer, before I was an engineer I enjoyed teaching math for 10 years. Now that I am retired I decided to substitute teach. It was terrible. When I follow school policy and make students put their phones away ,students would be very rude to me. Some students would tell the principal that they did not like the way I looked at them. I then would not be allowed to substitute teach. I was also attacked by a student because I picked up the students phone and nothing was done. Since I was an engineer, I have a good retirement, so not teaching does not hurt me. It is hard for regular teachers to quit. So they have to put up with the abuse and it hurts them emotionally. I was insulted by the students every time I made them follow the rules. Having no support from Principals a person is in a trap, they cannot get out of. So they get physically sick. Until school boards support the principals, principals will not support teachers. So the students rule the schools.

My daughter has 7 disabled children in her 4th grade classroom. Screaming on the floor, running around the room disrupting the learning are just a few of the problems she deals with and has No Support! One boy tripped her and laughed, luckily she wasnât hurt. Parents need to know!! She quit today.

My first job teaching was at an inner city school. Fourteen teachers quit the first two weeks. I was determined to make it work. After two years, I swore I would never teach again. A few years later, to help an orphan I met in China, I got a job there teaching English. I was the one who got an education. Respect, gifts from parents, a boss with encouraging things to say were all new to me. The problem is in our culture (or lack of it). No one in America thinks anyone else should be able to tell them what to do. We have some distorted idea of what freedom is. Every single teacher has gone into the profession with good intentions. The system wears them out.

We have forced teachers to âmake bricks without strawâ for several years now. Children come to school unprepared to learn, with complete and total disrespect and contempt for teachers. Not to mention children with parents more petulant than their demonic children. Our teachers deserve better.

While all of the things they have cited are indeed major problems, it seems to me that children and parents are held to the absolute lowest standards of behavior now. I know several teachers that have quit because students throw stuff at them, curse constantly, and behave like animals while theyâre at school. If you tell a parent, the parent gets mad at the school. Fix children and parent behavior and it wonât be a matter of ârecruitmentâ anymore. Teachers that are passionate about what they do are passionate about educating, not baby sitting students that know better. Get better discipline in schools and hold students accountable when they do wrong THEN raise teacher pay (believe me, these teachers deserve that and much more). Teachers deserve respect, huge pay, and good working conditions. But to make that happen, you have to start with fixing parental entitlement. Everyone wants to dance around the uncomfortable topics instead of addressing them. đ

Itâs not just in Texas, or the US, but everywhere. Even in Switzerland, where high school teachers earn $140.000,- per annum. People are simply fed up. Fed up with a nonsensical curriculum, fed up with vulgar students, fed up with aggressive parents and fed up with other peopleâs unrealistic expectations. Why should someone waste four decades on a low paid, dead end job in a toxic work environment, when they can achieve much more in their life?
I quit after just two years (after I received a threat e-mail from a parent, over a âCâ their golden angel deservedly earned). When someone writes âWe know where you liveâ, itâs time to pack your bags and leave. I studied on. Five universities in four countries. I earned two more M.A./M.S. and a Ph.D. And with seven languages under my belt and all my work experience I made in seven countries, Iâd never go back to the ninth circle of hell that is a (private) high school. Besides, most of high schoolers today want to either be an athlete, an online influencer or an OnlyFans content creator. They donât need teachers. They need a good camera and some plastic toys.

I have a niece that wanted to be a teacher for her whole life. She worked hard and went into debt to become a teacher. After 5 Years, she quit, she couldn't believe the behavior of 3rd graders, lack of discipline, lack of attention, and even worse the crazy parents, regardless what the kid it was her fault. She was threatened over failing grades, called a racist, etc etc.

in middle school, i remember my music teacher looked like she was about to explode everyday from the abysmal behavior that my classmates were constantly engaging in. she would break down constantly and scream at us exasperatedly. one day in college i recognized her in the copy room. i never seen her more alive and happy. she didnt recognize me at all though so i pretended like i didnt know her and we just briefly had a short exchange before she went back to her desk. i was shocked. she looked like a different person. once i quit being a teacher myself, i thought back at that exchange and it never dawned on me deeper than in that moment that i finally understood just how bad it is. its probably good that she didn't recognize me because it mightve retraumatized her to remember those days.

My son was assaulted by a kid in his second year of teaching. It happened in front of the entire class. He sent the kid to the office, where she accused him of "grabbing" her hand (as she was swinging it at him). He didn't. He stepped out of the way. He was totally shocked.
She was back in class the next day. He was up for a disciplinary investigation.
Teachers desperately need the support of government, employers and parents.
It, also, wouldn't hurt for parents to spend some time teaching their kids respect.

My father is a retired teacher. He committed himself 100% to be the best that he could be. I remember him falling asleep at the kitchen table while grading homework and creating teaching plans after dinner. And up at 5 a.m. to prepare for the day and a long commute to work. He did a summer Master's Degree course to improve his skills and better support our family. God bless all of you teachers who are struggling with all of our current problems in society and education.

I am a retired Texas teacher with 30 years of experience. I am so sorry qualified and caring teachers like yourselves felt forced to quit. Our students need teachers like you to care and educate them.
It breaks my heart to hear these stories. I am also sorry you feel degraded by parents, the school districts, and politicians. They forget you are the back bone of their profession.
I am worried about the future of education in our nation.

Parents need to be held accountable for their bratty kids. The amount of psycho level abuse kids put out then get a slap on the wrist for is insane.
