[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised I don’t see any vacancies at my kids MS.  I would think MS schools have a higher turn over.  [/quote]

Every ES teacher I know who has switched to MS prefers MS. Every MS teacher that switched to ES prefers MS. [/quote]

Planning only for one subject helps cut down a ton of time on planning, However there is more grading needed in middle school. An elementary school teacher has to plan whole group Math, small group math,Interactive Read Aloud, Whole group phonics, small group phonics, writing, science/social studies, and sometimes intervention group. Not to mention planning is regularly interrupted by student behavior and meetings. That’s not to say that Middle school is easy, they for sure have their own problems. But the  shortage is strongest in ELED and SPED for a reason. I have had weeks were I was so inundated with meetings that I didn’t get a single free planning period to myself.[/quote]

This!  One year, I had to stop doing ALL extra committees and clubs because I had, I kid you not, 60 meetings in the first 60 days of school.  Dropping out of anything voluntary cut those meetings down by about 20%.  That was an awful, awful year.  I worked 60-70 hour weeks teaching first grade.[/quote]
