Osceola Co. teachers resign en masse over Common Core demands

OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. —

More than 20 teachers have resigned or decided to retire from the Osceola County School District in just the past month -- and the district already had a shortage with more than 50 vacant teaching jobs.
  
 The teachers’ union told Channel 9’s Deneige Broom that some of them quit because they're fed up with standardized testing.
  
 At Kissimmee Elementary, they need to fill two spots. At the nearby middle school, three spots are open. 
  
 The union president believes many of the now vacant spots are because of testing. 
  
 Apryl Jackson fights to help Osceola County teachers, but said the education association's latest fight should concern parents, too.
  
“Ultimately, the problem that we're having now is the quality of education that our students is getting is not what it should be," said Jackson with the Osceola County Education Association.
  
 In November, about 20 teachers resigned or retired from the school district. 
  
 Jackson said that's higher than they typically see and several teachers claim the way they're forced to teach now and the stress of Common Core were the deciding factors in leaving.
