Also the lack of discipline. I'm curious about the retention rate for the foreign teachers.

Great so we can stop hearing about how miserable their working conditions are and opt out of whatever horror the PTA has in store for appreciation week? Problem solved?

Sounds like homeschooling is right for you.

No thanks I pay for the public services same as anyone else— but I’m glad we can stop having threads about how fragile teachers are and how ready to abandon their jobs at a hint of adversity. Let’s start bringing the highway department a week of breakfasts and give the sanitation workers early days off for training.

I’m sorry you aren’t appreciated at your job.

I am, thanks for asking. But no one at my job thinks bringing me breakfast is the magic bullet to keeping me in the workplace, and I don’t respond to any criticism of my profession by hyperventilating that this is why people will leave the profession…

Criticism? People on this forum call teachers dumb losers. That’s not criticism, that’s hate.

Some do. And some call out the blatant disrespect FCPS has for parents and are told “this is why teachers are leaving”. So some teachers obvious have gotten past their desire to leave at any critique, or, the really fragile ones have already departed?

It’s pretty funny that you think they have time, energy or the inclination to post on the biggest internet cesspool this side of infowars.

the economy has gone down hill with layoffs in the commercial sectors and public school jobs are stable, people have flocked to stable jobs

The only flocking in education is away from it.

Wait…
You think people are flocking to teaching? Where are these people? We have openings we can’t fill! Send them our way!

Honestly at this point OP's lack of engagement is pointing toward troll.

Whether the troll is Karl, Michelle Reid, or one of their sycophants, is less meaningful.

What is meaningful is how laughably false the “90%” statistic is, especially coming from Gatehouse, who collectively is not the least bit trustworthy at this point.

Gatehouse lies.
