While choosing to leave any career is a personal decision, there are many common reasons why teachers are leaving education. Organizations such as Chalkbeat have researched why teachers have quit, and a lack of support/respect, low pay, and stress are frequently cited as concerns for teachers. Teacher burnout is also a common issue, as teachers are exhausted and under new heightened levels of stress. If these problems are not addressed, teachers will continue to leave the profession, with very few new teachers entering the field to replace them.
