Even if you are great teacher and love your profession the benefits such as retirement are sad.
Most teachers in California must teach 35 years plus to have 80% of their retirement while prison guards, highway patrol, sheriffs, and other state employees retire with 100% percent of their wages. California pays well, but most retired teachers end up substituting in their own school district to compensate for their poor retirement. Why do teachers leave the profession? Lack of parental support, lack of time put in by students and parents to study, complete assignments, and study for tests (compared to students in China and Asia, discipline issues, student's lack of social skills, societal ills and the culture, and a dismal retirement.
Why would anyone want to be a teacher?
