I left teaching after three years earning about 41k and yes, I burned out. The chart is not referenced. Where is the link? The MEDIAN income for teachers is probably about half that of engineers or auditors. And in most states, teachers can’t strike. Clearly the author (“staff” LOL) learned absolutely nothing in school. It is absolutely true, however, that teachers have no control over what happens at home, and the often-unstated fact is that teachers also have no control over that child’s prenatal care, economic circumstances, upbringing and preparedness for even the most basic learning. It is a thankless profession and I am one of the many ex-teachers who found the entire exercise laughably ludicrous. I taught math and science and trust me: NO ONE GIVES TWO SHITS especially parents.
