It's because the pay sucks, and districts try to bounce teachers before they start to move up the pay scale. Lots of teachers burn out after five or ten years.
School costs so much now that you can barely pay back student loans and have a life as a young teacher. So instead of going into education, students go into other fields that pay much better than education.
I'm married to a teacher, so I know.
