EducationWorkload Management4HighTeacher$ implied
A teacher is overloaded with four freshmen classes of 33-36 students each, totaling about 160 students, while other teachers have smaller or upperclassmen loads, leading to burnout and intent to quit.
School administration lacks tools or processes to equitably distribute teaching loads, particularly by grade level and class size, resulting in unfair burdens on individual teachers.
