[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not saying there isn't a lot truth to this, but the union also has a real incentive to play up dissatisfaction as they start the CBA negotiations.[/quote]

The turnover at my kid’s ES over the past five years has been unbelievable.  Teachers do not feel supported by administration and are fed up with the useless initiatives constantly being pushed by Central Office.

I think there is much truth to it.[/quote]

Ours too and we are in a pretty decent ES in Rockville, MD. Many teachers leave for less pay and go private. The big bucks are in the top private schools.  1 of my 4 kids went to a top 5 and the teachers are chilll, creative, involved, and it is amazing how they can shine.  Class sitting out in the grass for a lesson on a nice day, sure?  Extra field trips.  Yup.  Greenhouse to grow things.  Absolutely. Want to learn math facts?  Let's integrate that into a 4-square game.   That one kid barely has screen time and they are in 6th.   Meanwhile, I volunteer in my 2nd grader's classroom and they are all glued to screens for a large portion of the day.  It is not the teachers.  It is the environment.   It is that for the most part parents aren't invested in their kid's education in public school.  Many view it as childcare.  [/quote]
