A vast majority of teachers in Texas say they are on the verge of quitting, according to a recent survey conducted by the Texas State Teachers Association (TSTA).
Seventy percent of surveyed teachers said they were seriously considering leaving teaching altogether the highest ever recorded number in the teacher moonlighting and morale survey.
When the survey was conducted in 2018, 53% of teachers said they were considering leaving the profession.
The survey has been tracking Texas teachers concerns for more than 40 years, according to a press release.
The most recent survey was conducted in the late spring and early summer and surveyed 688 members of the TSTA.

Instead of giving up your profession, get out of a shithole state that does not respect your service like a progressive state like CA would.
