[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll tell you another symptom (cause? effect?) of the North/South divide in APS: teacher turnover. [/quote]

Agreed. And the Board refuses to change the compensation scheme to incentivize teachers to stay in the Title I schools. [/quote]

I wasn’t aware that turnover was high in south Arlignton. Everyone says the teachers are better in the south Arlington schools.[/quote]
I work at one of the South Arlington schools and many of the teachers and assistants have been there 10+ years.  Two retired this year after spending their whole careers there. I have taught in other Title I schools in other states and this was not the norm.[/quote]

Thank you. I had always heard wonderful things about our neighborhood school ( Randolph). I’ve heard the teachers are great and it’s very warm and welcoming. I always see tons of parents at drop off, and when they have family activities, I always see huge turn out. Sure, these familes aren’t as well off, but it is clear they care about their children’s education. My friend does an arts program in the school and has said the kids are very engaged and well behaved.[/quote]
