[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher quits because many parents are severe high-level assholes. They are not willing to take it anymore. 
Also, many FCPS teachers hate to work.

Also many people in every profession hate to work.

BTW I worked in an elementary school in NoVa for many years and the number of teachers who "hate to work" I could count on one hand.  Frustrated?  yes  Worn out?  yes  Burnt out?  yes  Sick and tired of dealing with parents?  yes  Hate to work?  NO[/quote]

This is so true.  Teachers I know love what they do.  It is NOT being able to do what they love that kills them, and not be valued for what they do best.  We aren’t trained to be group therapists, and we went to college and graduate school so that we didn’t have to be mere babysitters or guard dogs.[/quote]

A quote I recently heard from another teacher: “I love the work I do but I hate my job right now.”

The last month, my entire life has been SOL proctoring and subbing. I’m a specialist without a roster so I’m one of the first people to get pulled to do “other duties as assigned” even though I haven’t been able to do my actual job in forever. Teachers who give up a planning to sub can get paid for it, so to save money they completely wreck my and a couple other colleagues’ weeks. Of course while trained educational professionals are twiddling our thumbs subbing and proctoring and ignoring our real duties, office/admin staff are sitting around debating where to order lunch. And folks wonder why I’m looking for a path out the door?[/quote]
I’m sorry that’s happening to you. I work in APS And our office staff is so supportive and helpful. They cover duty, help with behavior and juggle things around to minimize disruption. [/quote]
