[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is seems really risky because students who are doing well in school and do not have any emotional /behavioral problems are leaving because they are able to get into other private schools. This frees up a bunch of spaces so from a financial standpoint the school is going take students who couldn't get into any other private school or who were counseled out of their private school. The same thing with teachers. Any quality, go-getter teacher is going to try to get another job and will be hired somewhere else. Teachers who aren't hired elsewhere maybe just have bad timing, or teach a subject that does not have openings, or maybe isn't stellar. Who knows? Chances are there will be a decline in the student body and teachers. [/quote] Many "quality go-getter" teachers are staying at SSFS because they believe in the value of the school. Take your false-choice unstructured assumptions to another forum because "chances are" you have no relationship with this school.[/quote] Freely admit I have nothing to do with the school, just procrastinating. It can be helpful though to get a completely neutral person's opinion. I've worked in education for 25 years. Unless the school has a sizable number of well off teachers who don't need the income, for them to "believe in the value of the school" is not going to pay their mortgage if the school closes and they are unemployed. Nothing against any of the teachers. Sometimes it might be they have a family that hopefully comes first or some other issue in their life that makes it hard to be a "go-getter" at this point in their lives, so it has to be incredibly stressful for every teacher there. It will be hard for them to get raises in the near future, and there will be turn over in the student body, so I feel for the teachers. There are always options for students even if they aren't the first or second choice of the family. Not true for the staff![/quote] If you've been in education for 25 years then you should be able to recognize that your post is full of nothing more than unsubstantiated speculation. Educators should have the kind of media literacy and communication skills that you lack.[/quote]
