Maybe.

It’s common knowledge that it’s very unprofessional to quit mid year as a k-12 teacher.  It’s terrible for the students as well. Everyone knows what poor form it is to do.

Just wait until the end of the school year, then leave.[/quote]

Should a miserable teacher stay? I worked with a teacher who cried every day on the way to work. She once told me that a devastating disease that would hospitalize her would be preferable to teaching every day. Her health actually was impacted. She lost a ton of weight, had stress-induced issues, and had to see 2 therapists.

Should a teacher like that really be made to suffer until the end of the year? Teaching is just a job like any other. If we are going to claim teaching is so important that a mid-year departure is so bad, then it’s time to pay (and treat) teachers like the important people they actually are. [/quote]

WTF. She should report the heck out of that to the union lawyers yesterday.

Grow up. [/quote]

Don’t tell me to grow up. I’m the one who helped her through it, including reporting it and telling her it’s okay to quit. (Nothing happened by reporting her condition, but those of us in education wouldn’t expect anything to.)

The question is whether teachers should be able to leave mid-year without penalty. Heck, there’s another thread happening today about penalizing teachers MORE for leaving. Don’t act as if this mentality is unusual by telling me to grow up. [/quote]
