You’ll just complain that the private school is too strict with uniforms and detention and no retakes.

Yup I also remember "if you don't like teaching just leave".

Yeah the ones who said "so quit" aren't so smug when that happens.

The thing is, kids are burnt out too. They don't have the recourse to break their contracts and quit midyear. They just have to go to school, burnt out, maybe behind academically and lost, stressed, and in a stressful school environment with behaviors, etc. And then they lose their teacher, and when their parents complain, the students are expected to "be resilient" and be quiet.

Parents/students have choice: public, private, or homeschool.

Np. That’s not a choice. Most people cannot afford private and also can’t homeschool. Public school isn’t free. I pay a lot in taxes for it. Give me my money and I’ll choose private.

It is a choice, but you’ve chosen “no” to the other options.

All of the “big” privates charge $40k+ per year and have limited-by-governance numbers of seats. You likely weren’t paying $40k+ into the K12 system so good luck with all that.

And those property taxes also go to roads, emergency services, etc - so it’s still a fraction of what they think it is.

Well no. It isn't. You can see in a county budget exactly what is spent on schools.

Instead of blaming the teachers who have left, we should focus on the impact of these departures, particularly coming after pandemic closures and other measures. Studies have shown learning loss associated with mid-year teacher departures, so extra attention should be given to students whose learning is disrupted when teachers leave. Shouldn't administrators care about this? Reaching out to administrators to ask about issues specific to student learning (not to the teacher's circumstance) is reasonable. Complaining about the teacher isn't.

After reading your post, OP, I can't figure out why she might be done dealing with FCPS parents...

+1

When you create a toxic environment, teachers will leave.

The facts are that virtual teachers were not forced to return and those with monitors had an accommodation from a doctor.

Who cares at this point?? It doesn't matter anymore. Get over yourself and move the F on.

It does. It shows how little teachers actually care about the students. Just like teachers quitting mid year. Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to teachers.

Well if you think we don't care then don't whine when we quit. Good riddance right?!

It’s not that teachers don’t care, but everyone (including teachers) should chose their own mental/physical health over their job. Why is that even in question?

Don't argue with stupid people. They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience

very true
