POS 500
Letter To the Editor
Grand Canyon University

, Within recent weeks, we have seen a higher than usual number in retirement among

teachers in Phoenix and the surrounding areas. In all nearly seventy-one teachers have either

retired or simply quit over safety concerns brought forth by the novel corona virus. Teacher

shortages are the last thing we need to worry about in Arizona. This state has been dealing with

teachers leaving the profession and shortages for some time now, and COVID-19 has

exacerbated it. The teachers who were hailed as heroes when the novel virus closed down

schools in March, are no longer hailed as heroes. Teachers have been called “babies” and

“children” among other less exciting things for speaking up against opening schools before a

strong plan is put into place for the safety of teachers, students, and staffs among schools.

Covid-19 is not the only reason why teachers are leaving in droves. Teachers work in

unacceptable situations in many areas. Schools are crumbling due to the lack of care, the

treatment from students and even lack of parent support. Teachers have next to no support from

their superiors. Teachers do not feel safe or cared for, which is something that no teachers should

feel (Einhorn, 2019).

The teaching shortage in Arizona has left a significant amount of open teaching positions.

Many teachers are teaching with non-professional credentials because those with professional

credentials are leaving. As it now stands, Arizona has one of the highest turnover rates among

the states for teachers (Sutcher, et al., 2016).

It’s time for Arizona to stand up and save its teachers! It’s vital that we keep our teachers

in the classroom and preparing our children for successful teachers. Our teachers are the reason

we have doctors, lawyers, educators, etc. As a concerned parent and a lover of teachers, it would

be nice to see Arizona do something about this epidemic.
