  • Many of my friends (both men and women) that were teachers have changed careers over the past decade. The stress of the job is apparently vastly disproportionate to the compensation and many are pushed far past breaking point.

    I think the problem is more that teachers are receiving a fraction of what they should if we want to keep the best ones in that field, and we don’t have enough of them in general. These modern large class sizes to gloss over the staffing issues, are a big part of the problem IMO, it’s a lot easier for kids to fall through the cracks in a bigger group before thinking about the teachers being overworked.

    There being better male role models is the responsibility of all of us.
