From the Paper:

"The problem of teacher burn out has always been of central concern within the United States. Since the early 20th century the average length of teaching careers has slowly dwindled. From twenty two years in the 1980s, the average length of teaching careers has recently dipped to a new low of eleven years, nearly halving in the last two decades. Among young educators in America's poorest school district the average retention rate is a startling four years. It is among the areas that need the nation's best teachers that are losing the most from teacher burn out. Many questions come to mind about this new crisis; why is it happening? How do we stop it? Who is responsible? These questions are hard to answer and it is the purpose of this paper to present a legitimate answer to each of these questions and how to solve the teaching epidemic."
