More than 20% of teachers don't return each year, DCPS is a tough place to work!

This was a national poll[/quote]

I suspect it would be higher if done just in the DMV. It’s the local trifecta of being underpaid proportionate to other white collar jobs, the stank attitude of DCUM parents, and COVID that is making people want to leave. Not just COVID, but COVID on top of everything else. Like cheating in an already unhappy marriage —there was an emotionally toxic atmosphere that was making you stressed and ill, now your health is clearly at risk due to potential infection.[/quote]

I just don't get this whole underpaid thing.  I was shocked when I saw how high the teacher's salaries are at our school.  Way way higher than most of the masters degree level jobs around town.  Way higher than the equivalent GS level.
