[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize squabbling is fun, but are teachers actually citing APE as their reason for leaving? I would expect it's the usual reasons like life changes, high cost of living, crappy bosses, etc. [/quote]

I personally know multiple teachers and staff members (and good ones too) who quit because they did not feel safe being in schools given the level of Covid precautions, and they did not feel their health and well-being was supported by either APS or parents. So yes.

The "usual reasons" were always there. There's a reason things are much worse now. [/quote]

But when did they quit? I really don't think teachers are really leaving NOW, or even last year, because of COVID safety insufficiencies. They're leaving because APS is in a downward spiral with no signs of slowing down. Shutdown during COVID exacerbated it all; but is not why teachers who returned when schools reopened are not now leaving because of COVID!  I think Duran's "pause" on new initiatives is a very wise move. [/quote]
