[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder where all the teachers have gone?  Could it be they had enough of being accused, blamed, disparaged, criticized, called lazy people who don't want to work, etc etc during the last two years?  Is it possible they are leaving the profession in droves?  [/quote]

They would stay if they got more pay and more support.  Lots of jobs suck and are maligned (lawyers!) but people still do the job because it pays well.  Teachers wouldn't quit if they had the support they need. Parents do not get to make those decisions and parents first line of communication is to teachers.  It has probably been a deafening roar from parents for the last couple of years.  But how did the school board react to the concerns about parents regarding remote learning or any number of other issues.  Well, rather than support the teachers with resources, [b]the Board (and some of the teachers) went to war with parents.  [/b]See, for example, FCPS's School Board's communications over the last few years as well as its near complete adoption of the Agenda of Randi Weingarten.  How does that activity help the teacher who has a huge number of kids or a hard time finding child care?  Again, these are not issues parents could solve. Parents raised issues, the schools and the Board vilified them and teachers who were caught in the middle opted out.  [/quote]

Are you always this melodramatic or just on DCUM?[/quote]
