[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also want to note that teachers in private schools get paid MUCH less than public schools. Like $20k less. Benefits also aren’t great. So if you’re shifting populations to be served by lower wages that isn’t great for the economy of the county IMO[/quote]

Privates don’t have the mid year attrition and vacancies like MCPS. They must be doing something right to be fully staffed. [/quote]

What sources are you using to check private schools openings? Tons of people left during the year, including teachers and Learning Specialists. Just the other week our previous school had a French teacher leave with 2 weeks notice.

Look at AIMS, AISGW, NAIS and Indeed.com to see what jobs are open right now. In private schools they can have anyone teach anything. So a Spanish teacher could be covering classes for a departed French teacher. Kindergarten teachers could pick up a HS English class during their planning period. There also isn’t a union for private schools in this area so teachers are spread very thin covering additional classes and duties.

And they do have mid-year attrition. Used to be just unhappy families leaving during the year or families that knew ahead of time they would be relocating to the area. Now there are things like the mess at Whittle causing families to scramble and try to join new schools for the final trimester. [/quote]
