In Mother Jones, “the turnover rate for white teachers has been relatively stable at 15 percent since the 2008-09 academic year. But the departure rate for black teachers has been increasing, from 19 percent in 2008 to 22 percent in 2013—a higher turnover rate than in any other demographic. The biggest factors teachers of color cite for leaving . . . are micromanagement and lack of autonomy in the classroom.”
