🚨 THIS IS WHAT PUSHES TEACHERS OUT

Teachers aren’t just randomly deciding to leave.

It builds.

You’re expected to get results in situations where the outcome isn’t even in your control.

The standards for you are high, but the follow-through around you isn’t.

You’re told to handle everything… without the authority to actually handle anything.

And over time, it stops feeling like a job you can do well… no matter how hard you try.

So teachers start planning their exit.

Not because they don’t care.
Because staying doesn’t make sense anymore.

📉 THIS JOB ISN’T TEACHING ANYMORE

Bring back the days when teaching was actually… teaching.

Because what is this now?

You spend more time proving you taught something
than actually teaching it.

Data walls.
Intervention logs.
Behavior trackers.
Emails to “document communication.”

All to explain why a kid who won’t sit down, won’t try, and won’t turn anything in… isn’t magically passing.

Like we’re out here writing full essays to justify reality.

And somehow that’s the priority?

Not the lesson.
Not the connection.
Not the actual moment a kid finally gets it.

Nope.

It’s:
“Did you document it?”

At some point the job stopped being about helping kids learn and turned into covering yourself in case someone asks questions later.

And then they wonder why teachers are done.

A former teacher who got real tired of documenting a job she was already doing

What is that 1 thing you gained by homeschooling that you did not realize was missing, and now you cannot live without it? I know, it is hard to narrow it down to 1.

Everyone knows that actions speak louder than words, but do we truly live that way? Are you teaching your children to "do what I say, but not what I do"? Or, are you living an example of the life you want your children to live? Chew on that for a few moments. What changes do you need to make? Do you need to apologize to your children and ask for their forgiveness?

Bullying is a difficult issue. There are many families who are now homeschooling because their children were bullied so badly (some by peers, some by teachers and staff, some by both peers, teachers, and staff) that their mental health just tanked. I have read so many stories in the last few months where our precious children are at their breaking point and needing to be hospitalized due to the bullying that happens at schools.

Parents, I know you do not want to think this, but I know of many situations where the staff, teachers, and administration were the bullies. I know we do not want to even think that the very people we are entrusting our children to are mistreating them. But, it does happen.

But, the beautiful side of these stories is that once the family started homeschooling, almost every single one of these precious children have bounced back and regained their zest for life.

We all know that the love of teachers and administration cannot replace the safety of the love of parents.

Let's talk about friends. There is this understood expectation that siblings cannot be best friends. Additionally, there is an undercurrent in the public schools that emits the message that parents are the enemy. Homeschoolers are an anomaly to this phenomenon. Growing up, my brother, sister, and I were super close (that is also 2.5 years between my brother and I with a sister between us). We had the same friends. This was also true of the other homeschool families we grew up with - even the ones that the age gap was much larger than in our families.

But, the most important lesson I learned is that my parents are an ally. Now, when I was in college, I did get bit by the bug that my parents are the enemy. That was because of the influence of a couple of my new friends. Now, as an adult, I talk to my mom almost every day. She is definitely one of my good friends.

What can you do to help your family have this mentality?

1. Teach your family to work together.
2. Do not allow siblings to put down each other or parents.
3. Foster open communication between you and your children.
4. Teach your children how to handle themselves when they disagree with your decisions.
5. Teach your children how to negotiate with siblings.
6. Teach your children how to argue/debate in a way that fosters a healthy relationship rather than tearing apart the relationship.
7. Teach your children to be fiercely protective of their siblings.
8. Teach your children to respect you, their parents, and each other.

This is not fool-proof. There is no guarantee that your children will be the closest-knit siblings in the world. But, you are setting the stage for this to happen.

How many of your kids love to do science experiments? My daughter does. How many times do you walk in the kitchen to discover that your children are conducting a "science experiment". How does this scenario resonate with you.

Walking into the kitchen, "What are you guys up to?"

"A science experiment!"

"That sounds like a cool idea, which one are you completing?"

"I don't know"

"Ok, where did you find the experiment?"

"My brain."

"What materials do you need?"

Rattles off a list of very random materials that in your mind makes a dangerous concoction.

"What is your experiment about to do?"

"I have no idea."

"How will you know if your experiment works?"

"That's why we are doing the experiment"

Mom facepalms her face and walks out of the kitchen praying her children do not catch the house on fire.

How many of you have been through something similar? Do you know what else is as unpredictable as that? The reason your 3 or 4 yr old is throwing a temper tantrum. The story goes that when my sister was that age, she threw a crying tantrum for 5 hours because my mom would not move the sun out from behind the cloud.

So, what is more unpredictable than impromptu, unplanned science experiments and toddler tantrums? You tell us in the comments!
