Teachers who feel undervalued are more than twice as likely to report feeling frequently burned out, with fewer than half planning to stay in education. Private and charter school teachers were significantly more likely to say they mattered a great deal compared to public school teachers. Additionally, special education teachers felt more valued than those teaching other subjects.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
