NP here.

No, he’s not. He shouldn’t have to stay somewhere he’s miserable. Teachers don’t have to give up their own happiness, and I get really tired of hearing that we do.

OP, I know many teachers who have left mid-year. I’ve lost three in my department this year alone. Every single one who wanted to teach somewhere else is currently teaching somewhere else. There’s such a shortage of teachers right now that the penalty for breaking contract is no longer an issue.

I hope he finds somewhere he is happy. [/quote]

Because he made a commitment to teach a group of students. No one is asking him to stay for years on end. It’s just a few more months. If he leaves, there are students who are left picking up the check for his so-called happiness. I’ve been teaching for over 25 years. It’s really hard. I get it. I am not happy everyday and have worked for some horrendous principals. There’s no way I ever would have left my students hanging in the middle of the year. I’ve figured out what I need to do to leave and then made my move at the end of the year. [/quote]
