[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My principal does not post openings and handles departures/hirings behind the scenes...even senior staff are often kept in the dark about what's actually going on. I guess she thinks the high turnover reflects poorly on her, or doesn't want to bother with hiring committees, etc.? Anyway there are WAY more vacancies than the ones listed.[/quote]

This! We have a classroom teacher opening not even posted. Don’t assume anything. There will be a lot of kids starting the year with subs 😢[/quote]

My best friend's FCPS 8th grader had 3 long-term subs this year. This means a "teacher" (bless them) who's getting lesson, tests, etc. from the content team and passing them along to students via Schoology to "read the stuff" and "do the slides," not teaching. And it's going to get worse?

I'm a secondary teacher and am desperately trying to do the math that lets me stay home and homeschool my own 2 kids rather than have them in this mess of non-education. Never comsidered it before now but am seriously worried about both my job effectiveness and my kids' actual learning. [/quote]

I think the next 5 years will be rough with staffing unless [b]collective bargaining[/b] begins and real changes are made for compensation and work load. [/quote]
