Wow a lot of new ones this week.

I’m not surprised. I suspect some teachers found new employment over the summer and are notifying there schools now.

Yeah....you can only take advantage of people for so long

Seems unethical to quit now with 2 weeks to go.

This used to bother me, but not anymore. Teachers are free to leave employment just like anyone else. If you want them to stay, then treat them better.

Agree that teachers deserve to be treated well and with the utmost respect, I always drill that into my own kids, however two wrongs don't make a right. Quitting with 2 weeks to go when they have had many months to look for other options seems unethical.

How is it unethical?
They may just be starting that new job in August, so it’s not unethical - it’s just not convenient for FCPS. My company does most of its hiring in the last summer/fall and the least in the winter.

As a teacher who left this year, finding a new job was extremely difficult. I left In July and felt bad about breaking contract but when you get offered a new job outside of education it’s kind of a “now or never” situation.

I guess nowadays with HR being so flaky and ghosting people you never know but I would think if there is a good chance that you won't be returning, it's better to do it asap instead of waiting with 2 weeks to go.

Why?

Better for whom?

Better for the common good.

LOL

Don't feel bad. It took me many years to realize this but FCPS does not care about you. Good luck in your new job!

I agree that FCPS doesn't care. They are the problem. But sadly, the kids are the ones that suffer.

They need to make FCPS great again... Or just adequate. I'll happily take adequate.

A lot of the openings were posted in the last week. People quitting at the last minute. What do you want them to do? Their staffing is so constrained that they even post ridiculous stuff like 16% or 33% positions. Like a lot of people want the aggravation of the job to work in person at inconvenient times, teach 1 or 2 classes and make 16% of low pay for the work.

Is that 2.5 hours a week? What's the point?

I think they should offer more part time positions....maybe people could stomach part time the aggravation lol but honestly I agree with you on 16 and 33....very odd.

People are quitting because these positions in FCPS are soul sucking and a lot of vindictive players make it worse.

This. Job sharing used to be a thing in the county. That would be a way to get more teachers in if they had option for part time, especially in ES. We had two ES teachers my first year that split the day. One did LA and the other did math/content.

+1. 16 and 33 makes sense only if you teach a specialty elective or something where you're not expected to be part of a CT or team teach. Otherwise, those positions are a ton of unpaid work. No wonder they can't fill them.

openings also happen when a new student registers and it puts them over for the number of teachers they have - so they need add another class for that grade.

You also don’t get health care or the pension if you aren’t 100%.

Although the new healthcare for FCPS is not great either. They use to have a great pension and health plans....it's all changed.

Agree that teachers deserve to be treated well and with the utmost respect, I always drill that into my own kids, however two wrongs don't make a right. Quitting with 2 weeks to go when they have had many months to look for other options seems unethical.

How is it unethical?
They may just be starting that new job in August, so it’s not unethical - it’s just not convenient for FCPS. My company does most of its hiring in the last summer/fall and the least in the winter.

As a teacher who left this year, finding a new job was extremely difficult. I left In July and felt bad about breaking contract but when you get offered a new job outside of education it’s kind of a “now or never” situation.

Don't feel bad. It took me many years to realize this but FCPS does not care about you. Good luck in your new job!

I agree that FCPS doesn't care. They are the problem. But sadly, the kids are the ones that suffer.

A lot of the openings were posted in the last week. People quitting at the last minute. What do you want them to do? Their staffing is so constrained that they even post ridiculous stuff like 16% or 33% positions. Like a lot of people want the aggravation of the job to work in person at inconvenient times, teach 1 or 2 classes and make 16% of low pay for the work.

Is that 2.5 hours a week? What's the point?

I think they should offer more part time positions....maybe people could stomach part time the aggravation lol but honestly I agree with you on 16 and 33....very odd.

+1. 16 and 33 makes sense only if you teach a specialty elective or something where you're not expected to be part of a CT or team teach. Otherwise, those positions are a ton of unpaid work. No wonder they can't fill them.

You also don’t get health care or the pension if you aren’t 100%.

Although the new healthcare for FCPS is not great either. They use to have a great pension and health plans....it's all changed.

What is worse about it?
