Article: EROSION OF PUBLIC EDUCATION: Why are some of York Region’s ‘uber-talented’ teachers leaving public schools?
In recent years, a growing number of public school teachers have been making the switch to independent and private institutions, citing frustration with the increasing challenges within the public system. This article explores the experiences of teachers who have left and those who remain committed to public education, raising critical questions about the future of the profession. As private schools continue to attract top educators, they offer a unique environment where teachers feel valued, supported, and empowered to focus on teaching and student growth—an appealing alternative in today's educational landscape. This also suggests there is an increase in independent school options and choices for parents across Ontario.
