I know there are various reasons why many are leaving, but ultimately is pay the biggest reason people leave teaching? It’s why I left. It didn’t matter how good I was, the scores my students got, the accolades won…my pay was the same as the bum teacher just showing up and giving worksheets everyday.

Let me ask this, you offer your resignation and they say…we will double your pay. You make twice as much….would you stay?

I know many leave and take less money, but if you went from 65k to 130k…would dealing with the bullshit be easier, would you be more likely to stay?
