[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a principal and I am VERY worried.  I'm in a very low income, 99% minority school where on the best of days things are incredibly difficult.  We have already had many resignations, year long leave of absence, etc.  I don't have applicants who want those jobs.  My students need the very, very best of teachers.  I wish I could takeg a leave myself.  A school like mine doesn't work when classrooms are "taught" by a bunch of TFA do gooders who don't know shit about teaching, about minority students or anything about managing difficult students.  I'm tired.  I've been a principal for 20 years and I'm pretty sure this is my last year.  [/quote]

DCPS hasn't posted any vacancies online yet, wait till they do and see what happens! DCPS needs to get rid of the dumb application system and youd have more applicants also![/quote]

Very few people would sign up to be cursed out by parents, and taunted/disrespected by students all day. This job is not for everyone. Stop acting like teachers are so easily replaceable. Our skill set requires education, training and hands-on experience!
I love my students, I want to provide them with every resource I can, but I should not be forced to work in an unsafe (covid-risk filled)  environment in order to protect my livelihood. I hope WTU sticks together on this one.[/quote]
