I know a lot of teachers who are "hanging in there" in their last few years before retirement (like less than 5 years to go). New teachers treat teaching more like a job than a profession since that is how the powers that be treat it. Those who were in it as a career are quickly aging out. This has to be something the SB is looking at. If they are not, they are making a big mistake. [/quote]

They aren’t. They are going to move around a whole bunch of teachers when they redistrict, so no respect there.[/quote]

True.

The school board mentioned this a few meetings back.  It was maybe around finals and graduation when everyone was too busy to pay attention.  Perhaps one of the school board watchers can find the exact date.

If I remember correctly, part of their rezoning discussion was swapping teachers from high performing/low performing schools when they rezone (for example, swapping WSHS and Lewis teachers) to make the schools more equitable.

Please stay as long as you can, because we need and appreciate the good teachers (our high school has many good teachers).

But please also prepare well in case the school board tries to use you as equity pawns, because in addition to needing and appreciating the good teachers, we value you and don't want to see you get screwed over in their equity game.[/quote]

Frankly I turned down a job in FCPS from APS this spring because of redistricting.  I don’t want to be involved in that process particularly after watching the way it happened in APS.  If you take a job now in FCPS and get settled for a year or two you will get kicked out to another school because seniority runs who gets swapped.  Completely sucks for my FCPS personal children though, we can’t afford to live in Arlington or we would move. [/quote]
