.... Indeed, the reasons why teachers are leaving -- or not going into teaching in the first place -- are not difficult to discern : Micromanagement of teachers; disorganized school administration; a lack of voice in matters affecting school functioning; too few chances to teach collaboratively; excessive attention to test prep; chronic underfunding; and a perceived lack of respect from parents and the overall community lead to demoralization and push educators into less emotionally exhausting, and often better paying, occupations...... We're way behind countries like Finland and Singapore where teacher salaries are equal to the salaries paid to engineers, accountants and people in other highly-respected professions."
though it is written in the American context, many of the issues are relevant here as well.
