This is a global issue - not just a US one. "Since we have been at 826 here in San Francisco over the last six years, all but one of the first group of astounding teachers that we worked with and learned from have left. And they're all under 35. They have all left the profession to go into educational software or real estate, or they work at Google, or all of these [other] things. What do we need to do to retain them? " Thanks again. Thanks for the update Anne,
