A million teachers may be on the march — out of the classroom - The Answer Sheet - The Washington Post: "The biggest red flag in the newly released Metlife survey of American teachers is this: There has been a 70% increase, over the past two years, in the number of teachers who are likely to leave the profession in the next five years (from 17% to 29%). This amounts to more than 1 million teachers who are preparing to march out of our classrooms. And this is in addition to the roughly 1 million teachers who are baby boomers approaching retirement age!
I wonder if the teaching profession as it is now being redesigned and redefined by school reformers is one that any of us would have chosen when we began teaching. And I wonder who would choose to teach in a school with a high level of poverty."
