[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, that kind of turnover means the principal sucks. If people retire, that is one thing, or move away, but if too many teachers transfer to another, that’s a huge red flag.

When people are on a performance improvement plan, you can tell, because they have mentors from outside the building coming in all the time.

I’ve seen and been at schools where principals forced people out and it was not fair at all. It’s like the zero in on people for some reason and they have no chance of succeeding. In almost every case, over my many years, it was a principal problem, while teachers who should have been counseled out were left alone. It’s astonishing how much power principals have.[/quote]

AP's too...I've never personally had an issue but I have seen toxic work environments created by admin. My heart breaks for those people teaching is hard enough! No one should have to deal with high school behavior from adults who are supposed to be professionals. [/quote]

Yes, sometimes it is an AP that is the issue. Some AP's create a toxic environment or are on such such power trip that they make life very difficult for teachers, which leads to mass exodus.

The worst ones are the ones who tell you how much they care and how they're on your side while simultaneously telling you how much you suck and how great they were when they were in the classroom, and how if you were just more like they are, everything would be fine.

They are the worst. Gaslighters who claim to be empathetic, while they're actually sadistic. [/quote]
