[quote=Anonymous]The mass exodous is due to so many factors.  The behaviors in elementary children are officially out of control.  I have a kid who kicks me in my legs weekly and nothing ever happens.  Apparently, suspensions look bad on a school's record.  Parents don't take our calls and call us racist.   
Central office is also completely out of touch with reality.  My sister is a principal, and she was in meetings all day yesterday.  In one of the meetings, they went over the new central office organization structure.  Monifa shared that in addition to her job, she would be directly supervising 3 high schools rather than a director.  How the hell is she going to do that AND the job of a super? I believe in an effort to please everyone she's pleasing nobody.  She seems like she's in over her head.  In another meeting that day, the science and social studies offices shared the importance of having X number of minutes for each per day.  Every school principal pointed out that according to the county provided scheduling guidance, there was literally no time to meet that requirement.  Unless the school day was 30 minutes longer the recommendation was impossible to implement.  It's as if no offices speak to each other and then just dump it on the schools to figure out.  
In addition to the behaviors and out of touch leadership, you have the pandemic.  Many more of our kids are not ready to move on to the next grade level if you solely look at test scores and reading levels. Newer teachers take this as a sign of poor teaching when there are so many other factors involved.  They don't see the growth the kids have made but rather fixate on these benchmark targets that central office has pushed down our throats.  We've all been set up to fail.[/quote]
