Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals. This is more important now than ever!
@hare_i_am86 And perhaps that head to head is something the NFL should look at AFTER the season ends. Frustrated they didn’t just follow the rules set in place for a no contest game. Creates even more drama to an already bad situation.
