Compensation is a factor AND there are other factors in this mix.
IMHO since the COVID pandemic (and all that came with it) the teachers today are less willing to put themselves and their families “at risk” or give as much as they were required to give as BS faculty. That is what we are hearing. I also hear from teachers at DA and other schools that the time demands are just too great.
As we have discussed on other posts, there are many roles that BS teachers have to play. Does the compensation and benefits make it worth it? My student has a teacher who put their proverbial foot down and told the class “I don’t do weekends - weekends belong to me. So, don’t text or email me or ask to meet with me”. OK - I get it. So, this is where the importance of expectations cannot be stressed enough. I believe there is a realignment of expectations between faculty, trustees, admin, parents and students.
