The findings of the EdWeek Research Center suggest that mental health struggles are severely impacting teachers' abilities to teach, with significant anxiety and depression on the rise.
Teachers from Generation Z are especially affected, with two-thirds reporting near-daily panic attacks; their mental health struggles correlate strongly with job satisfaction and retention.
A shocking 48% of public school teachers say their mental health is declining; the primary stressors include low pay, large classes, and concerns about violence.
The survey indicates a troubling trend: nearly 50% of new teachers are leaving the profession within five years, reflecting the dire state of educator workload and support.
