Abstract: The United States has been struggling with an intensifying teacher shortage in recent years. Worsening working conditions in schools are contributing significantly to teacher attrition. Further, new social studies educators feel barred from making an impact in their classrooms due to the marginalization and degradation of social studies. In this article, I examine why new and early career educators, specifically those in social studies, are leaving the profession. I also draw on the works of bell hooks (1994), Neil Houser (2023), and Parker Palmer (1998/2007) to offer some solutions to combat new social studies teacher attrition. Within this article, I argue that we cannot wait for the system to change. Instead, we must work to disrupt the system and stay in the profession to reclaim it and to prevent the seemingly inevitable downfall of public education and society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
