^^^I've been hearing about the average age of K12 teachers going down because of older teachers choosing to retire early in the face of controversial legislature being passed in their states (SB 5 and issue 2 in Ohio, but there have been similar laws that passed in other states) that make it not financially worthwhile for them to continue teaching. Ex: if a state law just slashed your benefits and your district plans to hit you with a pay freeze, you sometimes find it best to just retire.
Also, I've heard that teachers who maybe worked in other fields first and went to GRAD school for education (ex: a friend of mine went from Speech Pathology to Education), tend to handle the first few years in the classroom better and stick around longer than people coming straight out of undergrad. I've only heard that from teachers I know, though so it's probably not the same everywhere.
