Last July only about 170 teachers quit, what changed? This explains the large class sizes, they probably weren’t prepared for this.

WOW. I really wonder who will want to teach by the time I have grandchildren.

I imagine they will be taught by AI.

Online teachers and the kids will be just be monitored in a school building

They are desperate at this point.

HR probably has this data but isn’t released to teachers or the public. Definitely not school by school cause who would work at a high turnover school. Those kids need teachers even if the admin sucks so it’s in FCPS best interest to keep that under wraps.

Which is funny because you can tell if you look at jobs-when a school has more than 4 every year....teachers know and teachers talk.

4. I wish ours had only 4.

Yeah I saw schools with 7 and 8 this summer.

Some of those vacancies are for multiple positions too. So it might say Grade 1-3 teacher one time but it can be like 4 spots.

I think there is a growing distrust and division between admin and teachers. Teachers are keeping their mouth shut until they actually get hired for another job, whether it be in or out of education, (I know a July quitter who got hired on in PW this summer) and not being so courteous. I’m not saying that all principals do this but some get vindictive if you tell them you are going to leave.

YES! There are some extremely vindictive admins. I don't blame teachers one bit for leaving whenever they find the job. The school system and admin seem to have a who cares attitude towards teachers-so teachers take care of yourselves and do not feel bad.
