We have one that is not and the kids who would be in the class have been split among the other grade-level teachers classes. I looked at the MCPS Careers webiste a few weeks ago and was shocked at the large number of classroom teacher vacancies throughout the county. I've never seen that list so long in October. This used to be such an enjoyable job but now it just sucks. As great as it has been having kids back in the building, so many are multiple years behind grade-level. So many are suffering the effects of isolation and trauma from the last year. I'm seeing kids in the 3rd grade having meltdowns worse than my toddler. Just grabbing their ears and screaming at the top of their lungs. So I fully understand why people didn't come back, have quit, or plan on quitting at the end of the year. Something needs to change because this isn't sustainable.
I did they said there was a surplus because so many kids left for private last year. I heard they made more jobs in the central office because they didn't want to lay people off.
