[quote=Anonymous][quote]On my grade level team we have never been stretched so thin. I know I am looking for a job outside of teaching, and I know I am not the only one. I have subbed more times this school year that in my 8 previous years combined - easily.[/quote]

Exactly. This year we need MORE staff than usual, and we are having to make do with far less--which is causing more overwhelm and more resignations.

[quote]Seriously. I don't understand why the schools and teachers thought the kids were going to be ok. News Flash: They're not ok.[/quote]

I was in my building every single school day last year, and taught students in person as soon as the school board permitted it--and the school board in my district faced a lot of pushback from parents who didn't think it was safe, so only half our students were sent in person once that did resume. So sick of people acting like I was not interested in doing my job last year.

[quote]The teachers who are quitting are the ones you do not want to lose. They are the ones who care the most, who try the most, who do the most for your kids.

My school has had four of those kinds of teachers quit already this year, and our students are worse off for it.[/quote]

Yes, none of our new teachers are talking about quitting, but the ones who know what they are doing and TEACH the new ones how to be better? We are the ones who are teetering on the edge.

OP, You should take your concerns to the principal. The teacher shouldn't be making comments like that to students AND the admin needs to give that teacher some support. Hopefully they will.[/quote]
