Study: "News":
Also in the study: "Although nearly 1 in 4 teachers were considering leaving their jobs [...] we found that nearly half of those teachers were still unsure of their plans.

This suggests that at least some teachers who were thinking about leaving might not do so this school year"

Study: "Nearly one in four teachers said that they were likely to leave their jobs by the end of the 2020–2021 school year"

CBS "News":
Study: "When interpreting these results, readers should keep in mind that teachers’ intentions to leave their jobs might change over time.

Also, an intention to leave does not necessarily mean that the teacher ultimately will quit their job."
Study: ""These survey responses reflect teachers’ opinions and perceptions at a certain point in time. Some responses—such as the stated likelihood of leaving their current job—might change over time"

this CBS video says that "according to a study" teaching was "the most stressful job to have during the pandemic"

the survey - funded by the two largest teachers unions - does not find that.

it only compares responses from teachers to the general population.
in other words the union-funded survey only says teachers reported more stress than the average

it cannot conclude that teaching was "the most stressful job to have during the pandemic"

CBS should correct the unsubstantiated claim.
and their headline is misleading

the survey - funded by the teachers unions - compared responses from teachers to the general population

that means teachers reported more stress than the average adult - not more than "everyone else"
