Think of these stories as bookends, on the one hand dropping enrollments, on the other teachers too stressed to continue in the profession. We have the problem and its solution joining hands at your local school district. Which is which? You decide, for it honestly doesn’t matter. Lower enrollments require fewer teachers and teachers are resigning anyway.
I think what is clear is that, for whatever reason, we’ve been attracting many unstable individuals into the teaching profession. The ladies and a few gents who were the other DrC’s colleagues - when she taught elementary school pre-doctorate - were a hardier and smarter bunch, none obviously getting the vapors or running sobbing for the exits. Hat tip to RealClearPolitics for the link.
