Study: Minority Teachers have Higher Quit Rate than Others

This is a legitimate concern:

An Albert Shanker Institute study has found that “[t]eachers of color continue to be underrepresented” in the United States, with, notably, nine large cities seeing drops in the number of black teachers between 2002 and 2012.

In Philadelphia, for instance, three out of every four students is black or Hispanic, while only a bit over one in four teachers is.
