[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers leaving in droves is a national issue. Kids acting out post pandemic is a national issue. The lack of rigor and closing the achievement gap is a national issue.

yes, some place deal with it better than others.  You need to move to a smaller and wealthier school district where the disparities are smaller.[/quote]

Teachers are not 'leaving in droves'. Back this up by a statistic because it's the classic union line which has not been the case in the DMV.[/quote]

NP. Are you saying that teacher retention isn't a problem or just taking issue with the "in droves" language? Because if you don't think teacher retention is a problem, why not? Are all these articles and more just BSing their numbers?

What have you seen that makes you think that there is no issue with teacher retention? [/quote]

I would be happy to learn what the union feels will solve the retention issue. Maybe it can be applied to nursing, law enforcement, service industry and just about every other field which is suffering a worker shortage.
