[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s everywhere, OP. The entire teaching profession is bleeding good teachers. If they’re going to work that hard, they’re going to go find jobs with a better work life balance, or more money. TJ is not unique in that.[/quote]

This. There are still a slate who are retiring every year, which is normal, but there are a few teachers who leave TJ and leave teaching altogether, believing (largely correctly) that it's the best possible place to be a high school teacher. The number of concerns that you genuinely do not have at TJ that you have in almost any other teaching job would blow you away.

Either way, what you are seeing at TJ is not abnormal or unique to TJ.[/quote]

I don’t find that convincing.  Teachers at TJ had to deal with cheating and stressed-out kids, and now they also have to deal with pressure not to give bad grades to less qualified students that FCPS leadership wants to look good, lest it call the recent admissions changes into question. It’s like teaching in a fish bowl compared to a lot of schools. [/quote]
