Teachers Walking


For John, BLUFThe COVID Pandemic was a hit against Public Schools.  This suggests that Wokeness is also damaging the structure of the systems.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From American Experiment, by Catrin Wigfall, 22 July 2022.

Here is the lede plus three:

While the national teachers’ unions cite Republicans’ and parents’ “politicization” of the classroom as the reason for educators wanting to leave the field, Tony Kinnett with the Chalkboard Review discovered this is not what’s driving Midwestern educators out of their classrooms.

Kinnett asked 615 K-12 teachers in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin the main reason they were leaving their current position and whether they would return if it was dealt with.  Respondents were also asked whether they were union members, of which over half (356) said they were.

Student behavior, left-wing politics

An overwhelming majority of respondents (319 out of 615) listed student behavior as their number one reason for resigning, followed by 138 selecting “progressive political activity” (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, CRT, gender identity) and 134 basing their decision on “insufficient” salaries.

The Second Comment to the posting is interesting to me.

If the Mid-west is having this issue, will we soon find it in our own schools?

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
