Welcome to Teacher Quit Talk. I'm Ms. Redacted.

And I'm Mrs. Frazzled.

Every week we explore the teacher exodus to find out what, if anything, could get these educators back in the classroom.

We've all had our moments where we thought, what the hell am I doing here?

From burnout to bureaucracy to soul-sucking stressors and creative dead ends.

From recognizing when it was time to go, to navigating feelings of guilt and regret afterwards. We're here to cut out the gaslighting and get real about what it means to leave teaching. We've got insights

from former teachers from all over the country who have seen it all. So get ready to be disturbed.

Join us on teacher quit talk to laugh through the pain of the U.S. education system.

We'll see you there. Hi, I'm Frances Callier. And I'm Angela V. Shelton.

And we're Franjula.
