Soap Scum posted:if you don't mind me asking, roughly how long have you been teaching? and did any of these things (mid-year staff quits) happen before, but just at like a fraction of the frequency? about 15 years now. attrition on my campus year over year was always pretty low, then May-Dec 2020 we had mass resignations, and much higher attrition at the end of each semester ever since then. I’ve hardly ever seen people just get a few weeks in and nope out before COVID. budget and staffing cuts are a compounding problem. everything’s just harder for everyone in every possible way. if you’re not invested enough or bloody-minded enough, it doesn’t make sense as a life decision to stay in public ed right now, at least where I’m at.
