So 5 that I know of.

That seems high. Is this the Bullis lower school turnover that others on this post have commented on?

Bullis has had several so far this year, not just in the lower school. Agree with the poster above that this should not be normalized.

Disgruntled Bullis teacher strikes again. The only people you’re convincing is your little group of co-horts.

I am the PP and I am not a disgruntled Bullis teacher!

Then you’re a former disgruntled teacher. We all know there is a small group of you making the same posts over and over again. Starting threads (like this one) just to air your gripes. As pointed out by others, you all despise the new regime and the high standards being implemented.

1. You sound paranoid.
2. The ‘new regime’ and ‘high standards’ make you sound like a despot. I don’t blame teachers for leaving if you are at all involved in administration at Bullis.

Right? Either it’s admin commenting to save their reputation or it’s a parent worried about their investment being devalued.

Either way it’s weird.

Start normalizing it. Your children will be fine.

There’s a problem with the “start normalizing it” part.

People generally leave bad bosses and stay for good ones. We should be telling administrators to shape up.

Part of running a school is supporting your teachers, creating an environment where they have resources, feel safe and have a voice, one where they can continue to grow professionally. This puts teachers in the best position to serve the students.

But in certain schools, teachers have no voice, they are left to defend themselves against unfair accusations from people who have not taught before or have a hidden agenda (like a higher grade).

Yes, it is too much. No, it is not normal and school leaders can absolutely do more, but who is going to make them do that?

You are leaving out an entire group of people who regularly make teachers’ lives miserable: parents. What do you propose to do about that?

- No, not an admin

Good administrators articulate grand visions backed by solid pedagogy and intellectual grounding. They are visionaries and missionaries. They are able to keep the worst parents at bay by providing solid, research and evidence-based rationale for their decision-making.. and convey those decisions calmly and with empathy. They are also strong enough to politely but firmly push back on those parents who insist on being irrational or hysterical or belligerent, and support, inspire, and positively reinforce the teachers who are doing their best. Without super competent, smart, true philosophical educators at the helm, parents will direct their venom toward teachers.
