Teachers Resigning Like Crazy?

[Anonymous]

Teachers, I don't know how you do it! Seems like the obvious answer is for administrators to do more to get the problems out of the teaching zone. I understand there are ADA and IEP laws ...but, my goodness, simething has to give so we can keep teachers and the non-problem kids have a chance to learn.

I don't have a lot of hope, but god bless y'all. It has to be hard to face that everyday without legit support.

I was able to find a different job pretty easily. 13% pay raise. Instead of 16 weeks vacation, I only get 8, but that's pretty good. And instead of working 60+ hours a week, it's only 40. Plus the work is MUCH easier.

My stress has gone way down, my blood pressure is back to normal, I'm sleeping again, I'm not crying on my way to work and I've lost ten pounds. There's jobs outside of teaching.

Why were you crying on your way to work? My goodness.

STOP the nonsense....some of these kids are maniacs and the stress is high. We don't just teach-it's balancing many roles and getting paid for one job. And let's not forget we have to baby all of you.

People who ask ridiculous questions like that have never tried teaching a class full of kids, many of whom have behavioral issues and disrupt the entire class, constantly. If there was any support at all from admin re: punishment/discipline, removal from class, etc. of these kids, perhaps I wouldn't have been a stressed out mess on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Other people have far more demanding jobs. It’s just not their culture to whine and complain about it all the time.

Keep running your ignorant yap. Hope your kids enjoy their cadre of rotating unqualified warm body subs.

They likely would not be any less qualified and they might even have more maturity than the crybabies shilling for the union.

Whenever someone blames “the union” in a locality that doesn’t have “the union” you know you’re in for some quality commentary.

Starbucks workers are continually striking to improve their working conditions. If you know any nurses, you have probably heard a lot about their terrible situations. Most mental health providers I know who work in the public service, along with social workers, will happily share information about their overburdened caseloads. So will postal workers and Amazon warehouse employees.

Apparently some of the central office workers were told today that their partial WFH privileges are revoked for next year. FCPS continues to become a worse place to work. It’s like they are making decisions to contribute to vacancies rather than support their current employees.

I think that now instead of complaining teachers are just quitting and getting better jobs, and now we are in a complete crisis.

Why would they need to only partially work in the office? Surely it’s not still due to Covid.

Why does anyone? Quality of life, job satisfaction, etc.

I’m a teacher and never cared one bit if someone who can do their office role from home worked from home. Enough school based staff fussed that everyone has to come back for optics now. Unless they have proof productivity dropped, this is dumb. They could save a lot of money if they stopped leasing willow oaks.

Right. I get that. So, that was my question. Why have they been partially in the office if it could all be done from a remote location? Perhaps it has been optics.

As a teacher, I have absolutely no problem with them working from home except that they specifically said I cannot, on teacher workdays when I do not have in person meetings or trainings. So, some employees can work from home, but others must be on site even when it is unnecessary? They can do virtual trainings from home but I can't be trusted to do so? That is my issue.

Just think of all the ways FCPS could make their employees happy but they don't they cater to the whiny parents who complain about every breath FCPS takes. YES-it's all optics to please the whiners.
