The Exodus begins

Two teachers are leaving.

This is not comparable to a "normal" job, when people frequently leave and are replaced.

An exodus of teachers means emotional students who feel like they have been abandoned by an adult they cared about (or like they ran off a teacher they didn't like). It also implies an increased teaching/planning load for everyone else.

I want to stay positive- I do love most of my students- but it might be time to start sending out resumes.
