[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The system needs to focus more on its people, period, meaning the intangibles and the relationship piece I recently left the system. I’m an educator in my 40s with several graduate degrees, glowing formal and informal evaluations and tremendous success with kids. Guess what happened when I said I was considering leaving for another system? Nothing. That’s right. No one asked me why I was leaving, or told me they wish I’d reconsider, or said it was a loss. I just moved on. I might have considered returning at some point, too, but the leaving process made me feel so dispensable that I never want to feel that unappreciated again. The system needs to focus as much on their existing personnel as future subs or they’ll continue to bleed people.[/quote]

This. Nobody cares what the employees think. If you say what you think, you are labeled as "negative." [/quote]

It depends. I think admin at my current school listens to me because I speak about both positive and negative things in our building. And I don’t just complain about the negative things that impact me. I advocate for other teachers and I come with at least one potential solution. However, I learned this after a horrible year of fall out early in my career while serving as EFR at another school. The principal was so enraged that I brought the complaints of other staff to his attention that he told the assistant principal to find a way to get rid of me. It was clearly retaliatory and I survived the process, but I knew I had to leave or it would repeat the next year.[/quote]
