[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sucks, and I'm sorry.  There must be something really difficult going on in that teacher's life right to make such a decision.[/quote]
She probably got fed up with the a-hole parents.[/quote]

Honestly, this is probably accurate. [/quote]

I wouldn't blame her. [/quote]

Not this late in the year. It’s unprofessional and rude. Anyone can work another 6 weeks. That’s a really $hitty thing to do to her students. Just finish the damn year and move on. [/quote]

No one here has any idea what is happening with this teacher in her personal life.[/quote]

They shouldn't quit.  people were not quitting their jobs like this 3 years ago.  Biden needs to banned this and  do something to stop people from quitting.  MY DD English teacher quit last month, she said quit and ain't coming back.  It's a sad day in America.  November can't come soon enough, I will be voting and something will be done to stop the labor shortage.   [/quote]

You can't force labor.  People aren't slaves.  That is a route to have zero teachers available to teach in the fall.[/quote]

The ones who quit midyear won't be working this fall anyway.  Maybe you need to rethink your route.[/quote]

Yes, but forcing people into contracts they can't quit deters the already dwindling supply of teachers to not take on a new contract.[/quote]

No, it doesn't.  All teacher contracts require a 9 month commitment.  There's nothing onerous or bad about that.  It doesn't deter anyone.  [/quote]

There is not a clause  in it that forces you not to quit.  In fact, it's them telling you they are committing to you for 9 months and generally teachers are generally professionally agreeing to stay then also.  But they can't do more than that like PP wants--forcing people not to quit--without creating a deterrent.   If someone is at a breaking point, or needs to move, or wants out of the profession they can quit when they want.  It sucks for parents, other teachers, their students, but instilling draconian 'no quit' policies would likely not survive a legal test and make a profession that is struggling to attract people at the worst rate since it's been measured in even worse shape.[/quote]

If you mean that contracts should have some sort of indentured servitude provision in them, of course they don't.  But teacher contracts are 9 months and teachers who quit midyear are blacklisted.  All parties know and understand this.  This isn't onerous.

I don't understand what point you're trying to make.  FCPS should seek to hire and retain teachers who will quit midyear?  Why?[/quote]
