[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The school board separations report always tells an interesting story. 461 teachers quit in July. Mind you, this doesn’t include the 800 teachers who left FCPS on good terms in June.
Last July only about 170 teachers quit, what changed? This explains the large class sizes, they probably weren’t prepared for this.

WOW.  I really wonder who will want to teach by the time I have grandchildren.  [/quote]

I imagine they will be taught by AI.

Online teachers and the kids will be just be monitored in a school building [/quote]

Yep.  A lot of my job now is monitoring.  I’m an extremely overqualified babysitter.  It’s really rough for those of us who love our subject area.[/quote]

This is why Lexia/ST Math are so big right now and being pushed so hard. I don’t think they are bad tools, but it’s definitely testing the water of how much can be taken out of the teachers hands. Same with the Basals, they don’t need some unlicensed communications major figuring out how to teach phonics on the fly. [/quote]

really sad because good teachers are priceless....but honestly even the best teachers are struggling in the chaos of education today~off the chart behaviors, large class sizes, and a true lack of support and time to actually teach.[/quote]

Speak for yourself! I have been teaching primary for 20+ years. The new curriculum is a lot to learn, but in terms of my principal and my students’ families, I have never felt more supported in my career. If you are a struggling teacher, I encourage you to [b]do some research on schools where teachers feel valued and supported[/b]. They still exist![/quote]

How would you suggest people do this? I taught for 30 years in FCPS and left a few years earlier than planned due to reasons mentioned in this thread. I don’t think it’s very easy to “research schools where teachers feel valued…”.

At which school do you work? [/quote]

I'd love to hear about this too....I'm a 22 year veteran[/quote]
