How many teachers get fired a year?

There's no readily available, reliable statistic on the exact number of teachers fired in a year in the United States (or globally). Data on teacher terminations is not consistently collected and reported across all states and countries. Information that is available often focuses on specific reasons for dismissal (e.g., performance issues, misconduct) rather than overall numbers. Furthermore, "fired" can be interpreted differently; it might include terminations for cause, resignations under pressure, non-renewal of contracts, etc.
