[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess Dr McKnight is also responsible for DC and VA and everywhere else, too.

"Resignations spiked enormously at the end of the 2021-2022 academic year in D.C. Public Schools and in several Northern Virginia districts, including Fairfax County, the state’s largest school system.

The D.C.-area resignations come amid a wider national trend of teachers leaving the profession in the years since the pandemic began, which forced schools nationwide to suddenly veer online. Managing hybrid teaching left many educators exhausted. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics data as reported by the Wall Street Journal, about 300,000 public-school teachers and staffers quit their jobs between February 2020 and May 2022, representing a 3 percent decrease in the workforce."

Thank you! Apparently some folks missed the pandemic and exhaustion being the final straw that caused many teachers and staff to leave.[/quote]

Yes, thank you!  I'm sure the teachers and parents of students that got infected in January are grateful to McKnight and the board for keeping teachers in-person at the schools with high infection rates, while 31 other schools got to slide out.  Yes.  So thankful for that.  Uh huh.  :eyeroll:[/quote]

Do you have anything other than this? Because I assure this alone does not account for teachers and staff leaving.[/quote]
