[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know what FCPS is going to do next year. We had 4 open positions at my school all year that never got filled. Only one of them even got a permanent sub.

I know of 9 teachers who are done after this year at my school. Only 1 of those 9 is due to retirement age.

In all my years of teaching, we'd have 1-3 teachers leave each year but never in the middle of the year. Those who left were usually retiring or moving to a different school, so it's not like they fully left the profession. Other than the one retiring, the others are fully leaving the profession.

So we couldn't fill FOUR spots and now they're going to have to fill THIRTEEN at one school? Impossible. This year isn't even over and I'm already dreading next year because I know burden will follow on other teachers to fill the gaps. I used to be able to use the time when my students were in PE, art class, and music classes to get things done but now I (and other teachers) have to use that time to pop into a class without a permanent teacher to help out and reteach lessons that the sub may not be great at teaching to the kids.

From a teacher: if your kid get assigned to a classroom without a permanent teacher, I'd do everything in my power to get that kid moved out. They honestly are not learning as much as their peers and the school system is failing them big time.   [/quote]

Next year is going to be SO bad, IA.

'22-'23 school year is my last! My school has 3 open positions it never filled and I know of 3 more teachers who are leaving at the end of this school year. As it stands now, it is possible that next year there will be only one 4th grade teacher if they don't find replacements for the other 2 leaving. [/quote]
