[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is a ten year girl and she is distressed about turnover in general. Many of her beloved teachers have left and there has been a high rate of turnover across the board—faculty have been leaving in droves and there is high turnover in communications and other areas of the school. While individual turnover can be explained I think there is a larger problem here. A new HOS can often trigger restructuring and departures but it’s been a few years and the rate of great teachers and staff leaving has not slowed down. Students are definitely noticing [/quote]

Do you or does anyone know exactly how many teachers (“droves”?) have left in the last two or five or ten years? How does that compare to ten yrs ago? How does it compare to other comparable schools in the local market? Any actual numbers?[/quote]

This has been rehashed many times on this site. I think the count is somewhere 80-85 since the new HOS started, faculty and staff.[/quote]

Every post is higher. Last month it was 60. Here is the thing, if you don’t like a restaurant do you try to change the chef or you keep going to restaurant and complain about the food. Not really. You go to another restaurant. It is exactly the same thing with schools. Are you unhappy with the HOS. Change schools and you might be surprised that the next HOS will not be your preferred choice. Move on or open your own school. [/quote]

This would be a great analogy if it took a restaurant 12 years to serve dinner and they replaced the chef halfway through with someone preparing a totally different cuisine and none of the friends you made during the first 7 years of the meal could come with you to another restaurant [/quote]
