W. Latin Math Teacher/to WIS?

[Anonymous]

Anyone know about this?

I think you need to be more specific. When, what grade. Latin now stretches from 5th to 12th with a couple of math teachers a grade. I would not be surprised if independent schools try to hire our teachers away. They're excellent. A good reminder to the Latin community to be extra appreciative and supportive of our teachers as we begin a new school year.

Greg Goles, going to WIS 6-8 I think.

I haven't heard of him. Was he slated to teach this year and left of a sudden?. I'm sorry. The teachers my child has this year look amazing. I hope your child has a good experience.
For the teachers who stay (we have a handful who go back to the founding of the school) a small portion of the annual PA dues goes towards a teacher appreciation at the holidays and a nice year-end celebratio. Parents can also send items to the potluck teacher appreciation lunches held a few times during the year. I hope lots of families do what they can towards helping out with these gestures this year. I think acts like these bring people closer and encourage retention.
I hope things work out with your math teacher situation. The math teacher in 8th last year was amazing, and she is not the person you mention.

It appears that he taught Upper School math. I haven't heard any ripples around this, and my kid's in the US. I think it's pretty normal for teachers to come and go occasionally. I wish him luck and let's hold on to the great teachers we've got. Stop poaching WIS!

My DC is in 7th and he said that he had a sub in math since the math teacher left.

Latin has a very strong math program. I can see why WIS would poach a great teacher. I just wish it weren't my child's.
