Forty percent of Fairfax County teachers said on a teachers union survey that they’re doing “not nearly enough” when it comes to “fostering a love of learning in students.” The school board has consistently agreed that its teachers are overworked, but this is the first time the Fairfax County Federation of Teachers has confronted the board with a statistical breakdown of how teachers’ increasing hours and responsibilities affect students.

More than 80 percent of teachers agreed “very much” that “FCPS requires an extraordinary amount of time before and after ‘contract hours.'”
