Its amazing how many people on this forum want to live in medieval bigoted dictatorships. I guess freedom counts for nothing.

"Teacher Since 2013" and Turnover

There is a top American school that lists when teachers were hired. This school is in Western Europe in a very desirable place. A diplomat from the Embassy is on the board.

80% of the teachers are listed as being hired since 2011, 60% since 2012. A huge amount are listed as being hired since 2013. In a normal school, most of the teachers would be there since before 1995. As a profession teachers usually stay at their school until they retire.

How great can a school be if 90% of the teachers are different from when a student starts high school to graduation? I also consider it strange that they list such negative information on the website.

Even charter schools in the worst neighborhoods in the big cites do not have turnovers like that.

Fire in June, Hire in February

I noticed that contracts end in June, but job fairs are in February and other times not so convenient.
When a teacher is told that his contract will not be renewed in June, then I guess that means he will be unemployed for a while.
