There are so many highly qualified teachers, then why are teachers quitting altogether?
Is not it weird that teachers are quitting their profession? Teaching is considered a noble profession, yet teachers are quitting. But, why? Why is everyone saying that there is a “teacher shortage”? They are not right. There is not a teacher shortage, there is a lack of people willing to give respect, good compensation and support. Teachers should be respected but instead, parents, students and administrators would disrespect the teachers who try their best to educate the kids of the future. There are many reasons why teachers are quitting and here are 30 of the tweets made by the teachers, or others explaining why there is a teacher shortage.

What a stupid contest this arena held! They made teachers get on their knees and fight for the money so they can use it for school supplies. It is the responsibility of the schools to provide school supplies. Schools should pay more to teachers and respect them more so more and more teachers join again and enjoy teaching. Provide support and security to teachers. Appreciate their efforts and take care of their mental health.
16. “Give our teachers a damn raise!”
