[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here and no, this isn't how it works. (Plus, PLENTY of parents give me $...allowed or not.)

You want teachers to stay? Parent your child. Get them off screens (teachers cannot compete with non stop entertainment). 
Support us: call the principals with good news about us.
Talk to admin about discipling kids. Be pro suspending kids, and bringing back detention.
Admin doesn't enforce anything anymore because they're afraid of parents so teachers have to deal with kids misbehaving all day.[/quote]

I’m fine if you leave with this attitude [/quote]

I thought the same way until I became a teacher! I don’t like the way PP is spurning the idea of a nice gift but the reasons teachers are leaving isn’t pay. Pay has always been lackluster. The deal was that you accept bad pay for rewarding job with more feee time. But the educational and social landscape has completely changed. It’s not rewarding because as things are it’s anyone’s guess whether or not kids will actually learn something, you really have to work more than your 7.5 contract hours in order to make things run remotely smoothly, and many teachers have to work during the summer and do side gigs to make ends meet.

If you don’t want burned out, stressed out teachers who don’t have the emotional bandwidth to be patient with your kids, or if you don’t want teacher shortages to increase, PP does actually have some good suggestions. [/quote]
