[quote=Anonymous]Some of the recent hires are not so great at one local high school, to put it nicely. They may have been emergency fill ins but why are they still allowed to stick around? Anyone else's high school like this too?

This isn’t the same as PP’s constant assertion there’s a shortage. Theres not in the DC metro area, and unlikely to be one given the job market.

There is a huge shortage...especially in special education.  That is why recent hires are terrible.  Schools are desperate to get someone/anyone hired to fill the positions.  Once these people are hired, we are stuck with them.  These are people I would not let walk my dog let alone teach children, but as the good teachers are quitting and retiring, there are lots of positions to fill.  There was a time we could look through loads of resumes and have some amazing candidates from which to choose.  Now we are lucky if we get 1 or 2 good candidates and all the schools are fighting for them.  It's like a feeding frenzy.
