There was another 8th grade fight. Some boy was pantsing kids playing baseketball. He went to pants another kid who turned around and punched him.
As a part of this, some ones glasses broke so there was blood.

That has a real f around and find out vibe to it.

OP, did you figure out what they were talking about? Don’t leave us hanging.

Sorry for the delay.

My kids told me that the rumor is that about 25% of the teachers are leaving Deal after this year.

Many are teachers who have been there for 5+ years.

Mr. Rottman’s name was also mentioned as either a possible replacement for Ms. Neal or he’ll be getting his own school elsewhere in DC.

Not a surprise- none of my 8th graders teachers from 6 grade are still at Deal. For current year I know the science teacher is not returning and social studies quit in Jan. - right there you have more than 25% of teachers from the team.

. Is Ms Neal leaving? She had an impossible job but when ever I saw her in person engaging with kids I always was impressed

Not 25% of a team, but for the entire school. 😩

I know with the pandemic, there has been more teacher attrition in general, but 25% is crazy high

I don’t think the controversy is that they’ve joined the conversation, but more so they’ve made it known at Deal so much at the kids know they’re leaving and the 4th quarter hasn’t even begun yet.

Op, how would your kids know any of this?

My kid talks about how her long term sub who is back filling for the Individuals and Societies teacher has not gotten paid.

It's much better than they announce their plans now then in the summer.

Not surprised at all. Treat teachers like they’re the enemy and they’re going to peace out of an already mostly thankless low paying job. You reap what you sow.
