[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most relevant issue with teaching salaries in APS is that we pay less at most levels of experience and educational attainment than almost all local districts. That means that every year, our best teachers weigh whether to go to Fairfax or MCPS or wherever for better pay, or whether they love their school community enough to take the hit. [/quote]

Yup.  People that can get out, will, and APS will be stuck with what’s left.  We also do not have the interest in the profession that we used to.  People can work from home now, and make a lot more.  I predict many empty classrooms.  [/quote]

Certain Arlington parents made it very well known how they feel about APS teachers during the pandemic. I don't blame teachers one bit for not wanting to put up with that type of abuse. [/quote]

That happened everywhere.  In APS, I think teachers are most upset by the unjustified and reckless growth in management positions.  The extra leave they were granted.  The lease for more space for these office positions while teachers are forced to work in multiple classrooms.  It’s infuriating.[/quote]
