You can have people respond just to you directly.
It saves you from this round robin of just everybody saying something until you've gone all the way around the room.
And it also gives some cover to people who might be feeling anxious about speaking in front of a particular group.

Well, we've seen this happening, you know, throughout 2020, 2021, as the pandemic has really taken hold.
We've seen folks leaving the classroom for jobs in the private sector.
Certainly, we're looking at a variety of issues here that are driving this, including teacher burnout, some of which even predates the pandemic, but has only been exacerbated by entering now our third school year that's involved.
some form of hybrid school in many places, as well as, you know, when teachers quit, those that are left behind are left with greater burden as well.
And so for many of them, they had either been parsing a career change or just hit a point where they couldn't go on any further.
And so this past year has been the time to set that job search in motion.
Well, teachers tend to have a broad set of skills that are really attractive to other employers across industries.
So, you know, you have sort of innate curiosity.
But then you have things like the ability to absorb and transmit new information really quickly, incredible stamina, the ability to communicate clearly with people with different communication styles and to sort of toggle between those things efficiently.
And so those are things that broadly make teachers really attractive candidates to lots of different industries.
But then also of note are, you know, many teachers now use lots of technology and tech tools in their classrooms, even more so often as a result of the pandemic.
And so that's made them really attractive candidates for the makers of these tools as well to come in and work for them directly.
Well, there's already a teaching shortage during the, you know, Omicron wave, we saw a shortage of substitute teachers as well.
And many of the teachers that I spoke with found that, you know, they would check in periodically and that their own positions since they departed.
weren't filled for a very long time or in several cases hadn't been filled yet at all in the cases of folks who had left more recently.
And so for those teachers then who are left behind, whatever circumstances, whatever pressures they were already feeling are now more intense.
And the other thing to remember is something one of the career coaches I spoke with for the story pointed out, which is that many teachers historically haven't known a lot of people who've left the field.
