One was 55 and retired. Another 48 and just quit. It’s a living hell teaching in Pennsylvania as this article also alludes to. Better fix it or the education system will fall apart. I grew up in Pennsylvania and Left in 1987. It’s definitely not the state I left. I go back twice a year and three time for class reunion years. I like it but glad I no longer live there.
