In California public schools are funded from the local community, such that schools in wealthy areas are excellent while schools in poor areas are terrible - there's no central funding distribution according to need like we have here in Australia. Families try to move to wealthy areas to acquire the right to send their kids to the good public schools, and some lie about their address to sneak their kids into a better school.
I'd suggest that teachers in the poorer schools with less resources and greater work load would be more likely to leave the job, and that perhaps there's a lot more behind teacher dissatisfaction than having to deal with difficult parents.
