@courageunlocked: People keep asking why so many teachers are leaving. It isn’t because they stopped caring. It’s because caring became unsustainable. I spent 18 years in public education. I loved my students. I loved helping families. But I was also exhausted. Emotionally. Mentally. Financially. Today I made more in one day than I used to make in an entire week as a school counselor. This isn’t me bragging. It’s me showing what’s possible when your income is no longer capped by a salary schedule. And before anyone says, “Teachers don’t do it for the money…” I agree. Most teachers don’t choose the profession because they want to get rich. But they also shouldn’t have to choose between serving others and providing well for their own families. If we want to keep great teachers in education, something has to change. Until then, many of us will continue looking for other options—not because we stopped loving education, but because we finally started valuing our own well-being too. ❤️ Teachers, I’d love to hear from you: What’s the biggest reason people are leaving education? #teacherburnout #teacherlife #teachersoftiktok #teacher #schoolcounselor
