I don't teach there but inside source told me 15-20.

That's a lot but there's a new principal.

26 confirmed have left. More will leave within a year. There’s still many teachers that have tried to leave or wanted to wait out one more year to see how things panned out.

Sometimes it's good to shake this up a bit and bring in some new talent. Also, the grass isn't always greener. Many schools will all have the same problems. I blame parents for not disciplining their kids. Kids talk back to teachers. Parents - your kid should never talk back to the teacher and should do what they are told. A classroom is not a democracy.

What new talent? The few college grads who trained in education accepted jobs a while ago.

+1. This time of year, new talent already has jobs lined up. Teachers pay attention to vacancy rates when they’re looking to move schools. New principal or not, close to half the staff leaving is a major red flag.

So sick of hearing this. There are a multitude of reasons teachers leave a school. Navy got a new principal this year and the ones who loved the old principal are leaving. That is standard. Personally, I was very happy with the new principal and everyone I spoke to (parents) were as well. The kids love him. The John supporters weren’t happy and we all know why. Move on. Can’t wait to see the new talent - out with the old and in with the new.

Please list reasons why you love him. The kids probably only love him because he gives high fives on the bus loop.

What are the reasons people are leaving? May as well spill the beans.

Can we not do this? If you know any of the teachers, you know that they are well aware of the other thread on here. It was cited as a reason some teachers are leaving and/or reluctant to come to Navy. Teachers don’t feel there’s a reason to stay/take a job there if parents are just going to sh*t on them. Teaching is hard enough, and lack of support from parents does not help. There is obviously something going on if so many have left.

And no I’m not a Navy teacher so don’t start with that crap. I have no inside info on why teachers are unhappy because most know better than get into specifics with parents. I’m just a parent concerned about who is going to be teaching my kids the next few years. We went from a lot of stability to none. Those of you cheering about a bunch of teachers leaving during a shortage are not very bright. Some of the teachers leaving are very good. People on the other thread who thought it was a good idea to bash the teachers can only blame themselves if their kids end up with a revolving door of long term subs. Really, really short sighted and stupid.

Losing long term institutional and community knowledge at a school is not good at all. When a whole team leaves there is nobody there to discuss how certain lessons went last year or what works best in that school environment, leaving the new teachers to figure it out. New teachers also aren’t familiar with the families in the community. If half the staff at a business left at the same time it would be a hot mess, why would it be any different at a school?

Whole teams aren’t leaving. But honestly there needs to be new teachers coming in as many of the teachers on the teams quite frankly weren’t good.

Unless something has changed since last week, you are incorrect about this. And you are delusional if you think there’s some supply of amazing, experienced teachers coming in during a shortage. You sound like someone who isn’t happy anywhere. Thanks for contributing to a toxic environment that teachers can’t wait to leave.

Whole teams are not leaving. It's maybe a teacher per grade and a lot of sped. Nothing we can do about it but hopefully the new teachers will be great and that the principal is able to stop any more from leaving. Thats on him though.

It’s a pretty big assumption to think that the new teachers will all be good. Quite a few of the teachers, I work with under the age of 26 have very strict work/life balance boundaries, so they do less.

I personally love the younger teachers who don’t have children - they are able to put more hours in and plan more creative lessons and don’t have to run out the door when the kids leave.

None of the new teachers I know are like this. They’ve grown up with SEL and work life balance and they are the ones most likely to use lots of personal and sick days to achieve this. It’s people my age who fret about taking a day off.

So what's the long term plan, then?

Regarding what exactly? Staffing shortage, retaining new teachers? Your question isn’t very clear.

I, personally, love the older teachers who have older kids and more experience.

It’s not that hard to beat what’s there.

Yup here too....but I won't lie these young ones are teaching us all something. Work life balance is important! Our jobs and these disrespectful parents won't care if we stay or leave....why should us older teachers care so much. Long gone are the "do it for the kids" days.

Yes, it was deleted. I asked Jeff to check if it was the same person who was trying to start drama in the original thread, and a few minutes later he deleted it. Guess we have our answer.
