[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not quitting because of behavior problems, although I'll admit they're not fun. I'm quitting because I'm sick of admin who have less teaching experience than me - and absolutely zero experience in my field - telling me that I'm "developing" after receiving effective or highly effective ratings from others. I'm sick of being told by admin that because my kids are behind grade level standards in reading, that I "don't have time" to teach social/emotional skills. I'm sick of the system acting like the only thing that matters is doing better on the end of year tests. I'm tired of top-down regulations from people in central office who have no idea what it's like to actually be in my classroom. [/quote]
Dcps teacher here. I agree with everything you said.  Are you staying in teaching or starting a new career path?[/quote]

for now i'm staying in teaching, but not dcps.  we'll see if it gets better for me, otherwise i might choose a new path.  not sure what that would be.  you got ideas?[/quote]
