[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the ^^PP.  Most of the teachers leave TC and other ACPS schools because of ACPS administration and not the students.  If you talk to teachers then you know that most of them are attracted to some of our most difficult Alexandria schools because of, not in spite of, the challenging demographics.  There should be exit interviews of all departing teachers.  There is something very wrong going on in Alexandria.[/quote]

I'm speaking from experience. One friend left TC because she was tired of being called a "white bitch" by multiple black boys and another left Macarthur after being punched in the face by an adult-sized 5th grader.[/quote]

One, if not both, of those things are exacerbated by poor admin/central office.

Did that 5th grader get expelled?  If not, there is no reason for the teacher to be back.  If yes, then it is still understandable as to why the teacher left.  I would bet even money that the kid did not get expelled, much less suspended for more than 10 days.

Kids cursing at the teacher in that manner should also result in suspension in a decent running school.  Nothing probably happened to the kid with respect to discipline and therefore the teacher left.  Lack of disciplinary accountability is a problem wholly in the hands of admin and central office.[/quote]
