[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is going to start being a new normal. Teachers (yes even private school teachers) are overworked and underpaid. Little support from admin and picked apart from enough parents that it’s not worth it to stay.

Start normalizing it. Your children will be fine.[/quote]

There’s a problem with the “start normalizing it” part.

People generally leave bad bosses and stay for good ones. We should be telling administrators to shape up.

Part of running a school is supporting your teachers, creating an environment where they have resources, feel safe and have a voice, one where they can continue to grow professionally. This puts teachers in the best position to serve the students.

But in certain schools, teachers have no voice, they are left to defend themselves against unfair accusations from people who have not taught before or have a hidden agenda (like a higher grade).

Yes, it is too much. No, it is not normal and school leaders can absolutely do more, but who is going to make them do that?[/quote]

What happens when you tell them til you’re blue in the face but they don’t do anything?[/quote]
