Not sure whether to be honest or not in this situation. I have decided that I want to leave my job and do a masters degree.

Plus if they hire someone I can train the transition will be easier? But I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot if they were thinking or giving me a pay rise or promoting me?

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick. No penalties for late work, taking excuses for attendance, lower academic and behavioral standards...

Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?
