[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, it all depends. Rarely do teachers just quit over summer without any warning. Most teachers know now if they are staying, going, or even looking. Best policy is to ask, but don't be offended if you don't get the answer you are looking for. Imagine for a minute you were being asked these kinds of questions at your job. How would you feel and react?[/quote]

Many teachers also feel retaliation. I know I wouldn't quit until after my IMPACT score was finalized and after I had to work with my principal. Things tend to go downhill when they know you're leaving. [/quote]

Yep. I'm the teacher from before. Two months ago, I told my principal that I was CONSIDERING leaving because I'm barely scraping by on my salary. I told him that it was a courtesy just in case I found something and they called for a recommendation. They've already interviewed a replacement for me and told her that she'd be starting next year. One of the central office folks who frequents our school also pulled me aside to say how shocked they were to hear that I'm leaving. I wish I hadn't said anything. [/quote]
