Teachers Resigning Like Crazy?

[Anonymous]

Our school has had large number of teachers and counselors leave to go to remote / flexible jobs.

And bring back corporal punishment!

[Anonymous]

Require the parents to sit in the classroom for a while.

The teachers are not the ones to raise your kids!

Why would anyone want to be a teacher when your administrators and school board will not allow disruptive / violent kids to get any effective consequences?

Yep. Learned my lesson the hard way. I used to think teaching would be the ideal career for me. Now it’s not much more than punishment, every single day.

You need to leave and apply to a well run school system with a strong superintendent and leadership team who have supports for kids who exhibit extreme behaviors but also aren't afraid to give consequences for violent behavior. What's being described on this thread would be a nightmare for kids and teachers/staff.

As a group when have the teachers’ organizations in the county ever lobbied for greater discipline of disruptive students? It seems they are in bed with the School Board members who obsess over differences in suspension and expulsion rates and lobby for more pay but not necessarily better working conditions.

Yes FCPS is extremely difficult to work for. Any recommendations for a good county? One that respects and supports it's teachers? Behavior is a huge piece but it also comes down to teachers needing time to do their jobs and putting the education of kids who want to learn first.

They are highly offended when they have to come get their kids for being violent towards students and staff.

That did not work so well in Newport News.

The problem is they’re obsessed with lowering those rates, thus no consequences. It looks bad if the rates are too high.

No thanks! It looks pretty contentious there too after reading the latest NYtimes article about it.

Lol. Those parents never answer the phone. They’re no dummies. They have no problem telling us that their kids are not their problem when they’re at school.

This is true all grade levels were spoken to at our school and staff was told we are reporting too many behaviors and you got the feeling it "looked" bad for our school

The only ones who’ll come are the Moms4Lunatics types who are convinced teachers are turning kids into trans black panthers.
