It's meaningless without comparing it to other fields as well as an average of workers in general. Maybe 33.33% is an awesome number and other employers aspire for such a low figure.

Findings from a study can still be of value and discussed without doing comparisons to other similar studies.

And how did it go from "nearly 30%" (which is actually 29% or less) to 33% in two posts?

Yeah, my bad. I was reading several articles on it. One used phrase of "nearly one third".

And "thinking about quitting" and quitting are two different things. It's a vague concept you've introduced here. I think about quitting and moving to Lake Louise to snowboard for my life all the time. Will I actually? No. Does it mean I'm dissatisfied with my job? Yeah, sometimes I'd trade it all for a snowboard and a lift ticket. But by and large I'm content with where I am, which is why I stay. I imagine it's much the same for teachers.
Plus, it'd be interesting to ask your question every week for 52 weeks. I have a feeling there would be about 12 weeks per year where teachers are very happy to be teachers. That's anywhere from eight to 10 weeks of pure happiness more than most other careers.
So? If teachers are so dissatisfied they can leave, too. They aren't slaves.

I'm not disagreeing with you. Was merely point out a recent study that teaching may not be as rosy as you make it out to be.
