Teachers are horrifically underpaid across the country. This drives talented people away from the field en masse.

Not gonna call myself talented, but I legitimately ragequit out of an education major. Had an incident that highlighted how awful they're treated and I decided, "Fuck this, I'm not putting up with this crap for $30k/yr." Dropped all my education classes, changed my major, and never looked back. It's fucking criminal how little teachers get paid considering all the education they get, how much work they put in, and how underappreciated they are. Just look at how many parents had nuclear meltdowns trying to teach their kids during the pandemic. Now imagine doing that with thirty kids at once for seven hours a day.
