Since 2018, more than one million teachers have quit the profession. And yet, the school system has done nothing to help teachers. Isn't that strange? After all, the K12 system keeps saying, "we care about teachers!"

But if that were really true, then how come they haven't helped any teachers prevent future burnout?

Before you start guessing the answer to that question, maybe you should think about these questions first. Why are 40% of brand new teachers quitting before they even finish their third year of teaching? And why do nearly 80% of all teachers "think about quitting" each and every year of school?

The answer may shock you.

But here's the problem. While our K12 system publicly says "we care about teachers" they secretly dump extra work and extra hours on top of teacher's shoulders. Did you know that teachers work seven more hours than the Average working adult?

Yes, according to a Rand Corporation survey, they found that teachers work 53 hours per week, which is seven extra hours over the average working American. And guess what? None of those extra hours are paid. 

So in other words, not only do teachers work more hours, but they get paid less.

Unfortunately, the solution the K12 system wants to propose is raising teacher pay, but that's only because they secretly want to burn teachers out. Because here's what no one wants to tell you.

The real reason more teachers have quit the profession since 2018 than ever before is not because of unpaid hours. The real reason is stress. And unless we reduce teacher stress, then more and more teachers are going to continue to quit.

So why isn't the school system concerned about teacher stress levels?

In 2007, Leaf Academy founder Doc Schwartz, M.E.d was faced with a similar situation. On his very first day as a school administrator, nearly 40% of his teaching staff walked into his office and said, "we are going to quit!"

Hearing those words come out of one teacher's mouth would make any administrator worried, but hearing it from 40% of your teachers would make a lesser leader panic.

But not Doc.

Being a former teacher himself, he knew the only reason a teacher wants to quit is because of stress and burnout. Therefore, he knew the only way to retain all of his teachers and prevent more teachers from calling it quits was to finally solve the underlying issue.

How do we reduce teacher stress? And how do we prevent future teacher burnout?
