Don't Quit On Us: Lessons from an Abandoned Classroom

By Jeremy D. Lucas

AN EDUCATOR'S GUIDE TO BECOMING (AND MAINTAINING HOPE AS) A TEACHER

Prior to the 2020 pandemic, studies showed that four out of every ten teachers were already leaving their classrooms and their professions. COVID offered no recess and no relief for those who were already on the verge of resignation. If anything, the rate of teacher attrition almost surely went up, leaving students to depend for their education on the vacancies left behind, across the country and around the world. This is not a story that will cure the ills of every teacher left questioning their choice of career, but seeks to offer some solace for those who need a reason to stay in the classroom despite a myriad of reasons to go. More to the point, this is the impassioned story of a teacher who didn't want to leave, but in the end, was left with little choice. These are the reflections and the anecdotes of a public school teacher, resigned.
