[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would've been OK with Walls pre Covid, under the sharp, dynamic previous head, when an entrance exam was used to screen students and applicants had to submit a standardized test score (PARCC, PSAT, SAT). Post Covid, Walls obviously isn't the school it used to be. Neighbors and friends with sophomore, juniors and seniors describe serious problems like no subs, weak ad hoc humanities instruction (whatever individual teachers want it to be) and teachers quitting mid-year and not being replaced until the fall. We rejected our Walls offer for a private this spring. [/quote] You think the sub problem is limited to Walls?! The entire DMV region struggles to find subs. This was an issue before Covid and now it’s really bad. The us has more open positions than workers. Substitute teaching is low paying. Teachers across the country have really bad burnout, just like most working Americans.[/quote]
