Case: Retention in Education
Why do you think many teachers are quitting after 3-5 years of instruction. What are the downfalls of teacher that teachers have had enough with? How can we support those teachers who are feeling overwhelmed?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a fifth year teacher I completely relate with these teachers and feel that this is a growing problem that seems to get worse as each year passes. I believe that it is because of the age old saying that teachers are "overworked and underpaid". In other words, with all of the new implementations coming down from the state as well as school districts, teachers are finding it harder and harder to keep their heads above water and not drown in the immense pile of work and stress that plagues them daily. I feel sometimes like I am a jack of all trades and a master of none simply because I can't dedicate all of the time needed to one thing. Instead, I must spread my talents across many fields and do the best that I can. As I have sat in the doctors office with migraine headaches due to stress and anxiety, I have often wondered if my job is worth it. However, after much praying I remember WHY I do what I do, remind myself that it isn't about me...it's about the kids, and I find the strength to carry on. However, with growing responsibilities at school, less time is spent at home which poses a great problem for many. |

Comments: I want to be a teacher because I love children and want to help make a positive difference in their worlds. It is an unfortunate over worked and underpaid job but at the end of the day, certain people can look past it while others cannot. |

Comments: Great points. I think it is just something you are either passionate about or not. As you said remembering the "why" is the most important part. |

Comments: This is a great response! I think it is important to remember that it is about the kids. Yes, teachers are overworked and underpaid, and do not receive the supports we should, but we have to remember that it is all about the kids and their future. |

Comments: I agree with this statement. I've heard of how many teachers end up quitting after awhile due to the demand for them to do other responsibilities but not great pay. In the end we just need to remember the children. |

Comments: I am not a teacher yet but I can see how all that you have said is correct and I have heard the phrase "teachers are overworked and underpaid" very much. It is sometimes discouraging as I am in school to be a teacher but I think it is so important to remember why teachers do what they do, like you stated. |

Comments: I definitely think that this is the reason why we are losing teachers because of the underpaid issue. That could be another reason too so many responsibilites at school and not enough time home |
