[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just finished reading this thread. 15 year teacher in a different district. Have been scored at the highest level on evals; consistently high student performance on tests; run multiple clubs a year and I AM LEAVING this job. Way too much work for the pay and conditions. More of us high quality educators are leaving for cushier jobs than staying, and this thread really reinforced my decisions. [/quote]

LOL, I left 4 years ago after 15 years, best decision I ever made. Higher salary with 100% less stress. Having my nights and weekends back is worth the leaving a profession that I really enjoyed.[/quote]

I’ve had several coworkers leave for different careers recently (the last 2-3 years). Most are getting paid more, but not all. What’s notable is that every single one of them has reported back that they can breathe again.

That impact will grow, too. As more people leave, those of us remaining will continue to hear that there’s a life outside teaching. [/quote]

Literally since 2020 we’ve been hearing about this dire shortage and it has not materialized in Fairfax. It doesn’t justify 12 days out of school to make teachers feel better about their job.[/quote]
