[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife is leaving mostly because of the parents.  [/quote]
So is my wife.[/quote]
What did parents do or say that was different this year?  If parents were inappropriate, why didn't the administration back your wives up?[/quote]

HAHAHAHAHAHA[/quote]

Oh, sweet summer child…things got very, very ugly over the last 2 years. I won’t give details of the offenses because I don’t want to make myself identifiable. Some of my colleagues were very publicly harassed, to the point of having to file restraining orders. Admin is terrified of parents and looks the other way. 
This shortage isn’t about the superintendent or hiring practices (although mcps has a long history of preferring to hire brand new teachers), this is teacher burnout en masse. [/quote]

Harassment is never ok and I genuinely sympathize with teachers that are burned out. The kids are burned out too. It's funny, the union always says what is good for teachers is good for kids but somehow they don't seem to believe in the reverse.[/quote]

I read this three times and still have no clue what you were trying to say[/quote]

I'm saying the union spent a long time arguing that what is good for teachers is good for kids, but they didn't want to understand that what is good for kids (in person schooling) would be good for teachers. Hopefully we won't repeat this in the future and further decimate our public school system.[/quote]

Yawn. Yes, school will be virtual in the next pandemic (or another severe, vaccine-resistant spike of this one). Plan accordingly.[/quote]

No, it will not, sadly.  We'll just keep having  surges like we did last year and ignore them.   MCPS did a cr@p job with covid this year.

I don't think in person during a surge is good for anyone.  Thank goodness for virtual.  It was stable, consistent and no worries of getting covid.[/quote]
