[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is we need better teachers and school staff. We go where there is affordable housing that is not a stretch...[/quote] They need better kids and parents in the schools. That’s the biggest issue. Who wants to work in a crazy school full of disruptive kids with parents that don’t care. Every good teacher wants to leave that loony town [/quote] Eh, kind of disagree. Teachers will work at schools with disruptive students and parents who are asleep at the wheel if, and only if, they have a supportive administration. Principals who discourage discipline referrals or don't take teachers' concerns seriously are a big part of the problem. That's when you start seeing a lot of staff burnout and staff turnover. I've been in the situation of having my kids in a high poverty school with a good principal and having them in a low poverty school with a terrible principal. I'd take the school with the good principal any day. [/quote]
