HR probably has this data but isn’t released to teachers or the public. Definitely not school by school cause who would work at a high turnover school. Those kids need teachers even if the admin sucks so it’s in FCPS best interest to keep that under wraps.

Which is funny because you can tell if you look at jobs-when a school has more than 4 every year....teachers know and teachers talk.

Last July only about 170 teachers quit, what changed? This explains the large class sizes, they probably weren’t prepared for this.

I think there is a growing distrust and division between admin and teachers. Teachers are keeping their mouth shut until they actually get hired for another job, whether it be in or out of education, (I know a July quitter who got hired on in PW this summer) and not being so courteous. I’m not saying that all principals do this but some get vindictive if you tell them you are going to leave.

YES! There are some extremely vindictive admins. I don't blame teachers one bit for leaving whenever they find the job. The school system and admin seem to have a who cares attitude towards teachers-so teachers take care of yourselves and do not feel bad.

I sometimes watch interviews of former teachers on why they quit and I feel badly for them.

I wouldn’t teach government school at all and likely few private schools would be doable.

Some of those vacancies are for multiple positions too. So it might say Grade 1-3 teacher one time but it can be like 4 spots.

I spotted a vacancy for a teacher trainee. Why would that be a vacancy? Why not just get a real teacher?

They are desperate at this point.

The real teachers are quitting or have already quit. Most of the rest of us wish we could. There aren’t any real teachers left to fill vacancies. That’s why these alternative programs exist in every state.

All of the licensed teachers who want to teach already have jobs before school starts.

WOW. I really wonder who will want to teach by the time I have grandchildren.

I imagine they will be taught by AI.

And yet teachers are still being treated like serfs by a growing administrative class. Each year, the amount of non-teaching work delegated to me grows. Even good administrators succumb to the cost cutting measures of allowing for large classes and using the faculty as a free labor pool.

Yep. A lot of my job now is monitoring. I’m an extremely overqualified babysitter. It’s really rough for those of us who love our subject area.
