[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it is voluntary on teachers' part, unless it is an enrollment change and the position is cut. Part time teachers are often the most vulnerable, but it could be anyone--ESOL, reading, English, last into a dept., or whatever. Just look at the thread on the parents trying to get rid of a shockingly bad teacher--they can't get rid of her no matter how much parents complain. And parents have no more influence over getting good teachers to stay. If the teacher is unhappy, it is their prerogative to go to the job fair or apply for an interview elsewhere. I think teachers are leaving the W schools more than you would expect. There is a happy medium between low performing schools and the pressure-cooker environment of the W schools. I also think more people are leaving MCPS period. The system is struggling and that is trickling down to the teacher level. There is a negativity that is just "there." It takes a really strong leader to keep up morale.[/quote]
