Picked up my state's newspaper of record the other day due to an article on the front page that asked 5 questions facing teachers as the school year begins. The episode begins with the importance of local newspapers to give us information when deciding who to vote for in town elections such as mayor, council, and board of education, and the rising importance of checking out candidate's pages on social media platforms such as Facebook.
After that, we look at one of the questions presented in the article., teacher retention. Coach shares the factors for the concern such as administration, COVID retirements, Salary, Life/Work Balance, and the Culture Wars as progressive activists and parental rights groups pull teachers in opposite directions when all we want to do is teach.
