As with many jobs, its take on the risk the job requires or find a new job. I'm not saying they shouldn't have a voice. But it shouldn't be an excuse.
> More than 270,000 public school teachers are projected to leave the profession from 2016 to 2026, according to government data, and recent polling by a prominent national teachers union showed that nearly 1 in 3 teachers said Covid-19 had made them more likely to resign or retire early

There must be a surplus, at least of qualified teachers, if not quality ones. Otherwise how do we find enough people with a master's degree willing to take 45K a year to teach 25-30 rambunctious kids all day long? It baffles me that we still manage to find people willing to enter the career field, frankly.
Over there you can find educated people who are willing to work in Seely, MT for 30 kUSD/year. On a J-1 visa, with no possibility to settle permanently in the US.
Good luck to all of us.
My school district gets an average of 350 applicants for every open teaching position.
After all they could just go elsewhere or be homeless right? It is after all there freedom to choose: risking their life or homelessness: it’s their choice.
