[quote=Anonymous]Diocesan teacher here. Middle school to be exact. It is not so simple as expelling students for bad behavior. Teachers are instructed to handle as much discipline in classroom as possible. A lot of issues stem from behavior expectations not reinforced at home. Recommendations on improving teachers is good; however, there is not the budget to hire people for these roles. There are huge recruitment efforts, but low turnout for hiring events. Also, BSM is highest paying school in Diocese. So, money doesn’t buy job satisfaction. The policy of accepting students with disabilities is wonderful! I am a parent of a child with autism and a child with Down syndrome. A general classroom teacher at a Catholic school is not trained in how to teach that population. We are stretched very thin. I am not at St. Louis or BSM but have first hand knowledge of how the principal treats his teachers and admin team. Trust me, when you see such a huge turnover in teachers, look at the principal. Teachers can only tolerate so much. The work load is mind boggling. My public school teacher friends say I work twice as hard as they do. In at 7:30 till at least 5. You can plow through if you have principal that is supportive and treats you as a professional. Otherwise, you will not keep your admin team or good teachers.[/quote]
