[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have had multiple teachers quit mid-year - is this because they're not being supported by the principal? The last time this happened, the principal was fired. Is ours likely to get fired too? Should families contact the Exec Principal or Regional Principal?[/quote]

I left because the county put too many expectations on teachers (excessive workload without enough planning) and the many of the kids were getting lazier and ruder each year. Not sure you can put those things on the principal.[/quote]

I didn't realize how much they can do until I worked for strong admin.  Like, our last school planning day was a full TWD for us--they canceled all meetings.  I'm sure they got flack for it, but they absorbed that to shield us because they knew we needed time more than anything else.[/quote]

Ditto - our ES administrators cancelled our staff dev day a few weeks ago and gave us the entire day to finish our conferences. I STILL feel overwhelmed, but I am definitely thankful that they do the best they can within the framework that we all work. Knowing my P, he’d happily take the heat if someone called him on it. They always seem to have a good pulse on stress levels (ex. They cancelled CLTs this week due to Thanksgiving and all the craziness). Very lucky!![/quote]
