[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d love to see the teachers who love teaching—and are good at it—but hate the nonsense throw in together and start up alternatives.
Something like Fairfax Collegiate but offered September-mid June.
No unnecessary administration or paperwork, steady schedules that make sense, no expectation or need to tolerate disrespect.

It’s the future of effective education.[/quote]

You just want charters.  I see you.[/quote]

Teacher here. Will charters and privates allow teachers to genuinely teach without the burnout-causing administrative tasks, unnecessary and harmful overtesting of students, and never-ending rotation of poorly developed county initiatives?

The answer seems to be yes. I’d love to see statistics on how many public school teachers are fleeing to these charter/private placements. I know several.

They’ll do none of that, and for less money than you’d make at a private school, never mind public. [/quote]

I teach private. I make almost as much as I did in the public system.

I love my job. I still work hard, but I have an appreciative administration that supports my efforts. When I was swamped with grading recently, I was given a sub so I could get papers done. (Don’t worry: I had planned a great group work activity for students that reinforced the prior lesson. No learning loss. I thought of that.) When our department had an upcoming deadline, two meetings were canceled to give us time to work. And I’m thanked regularly. It’s… amazing.

I openly tell teacher friends to look outside public schools now. [/quote]
