You principal downgrades you and punishes the teacher because they can control the students and they can't punish them.

Is this healthy for teachers or good for a students education?

And "you people" should respect how difficult it is for parents to send their children into schools that have no consequences for bad behavior. We didn't decide to get rid of consequences. MCPS can't handle being called racist so they just decided to abolish discipline. Not my fault.

You CAN do your job at home and actually parent your kids though. These kids act feral. That is not on the school system-it starts at home. Raise your kids.

My child is not the one acting out. She is the one coping with other kids' misbehavior and I am not buying that we can just tell parents to "actually parent your kids" when there are ZERO consequences in schools. Come on.

If kids knew how to behave in public, they wouldn’t need consequences in schools. Starts. At. Home. Period.

My kid's schools have consequences. There are kids who have received both detentions and suspensions. Not sure which parallel MCPS you are posting from.

Good for the schools. They are doing their job. Are you?

I would support this. Principals need WAY more oversight that should come from someone outside of their circle - or even MCPS. I feel too many are not objective enough. It sometimes feels like a good ole boys club that we can't penetrate once people start getting promoted to admin positions. It's not conducive to creating a healthy work environment. I truly feel many administrators treat teachers as students in the 13th grade. It's demeaning and unprofessional. How DARE they correct a colleague and undermine their authority in front of students they are in charge of? If that ever happened to me? I would walk out. No joke. I have dealt with inadequate and unprofessional admin before and left the school at the end of the year. I will do it again in a heartbeat but at this point in my career? I'd leave that minute. What is that saying? Fool me once, shame on me; Fool me twice...yeah....We don't work with people who understand how to manage people. This is coming from someone who has worked extensively outside the public school system. The way some act would NEVER fly in an actual company that truly respects and cares for its employees.

Wow. I heard MCPS wasn’t allowing suspensions anymore. Definitely not expulsions. A kid who threatened me with a gun came right back to school when MCPS denied his expulsion. A HS fight on camera resulted in zero suspensions because MCPS higher powers said no.

If this is true, this needs to be reported out - to media - to the state - to someone. I hope you were able to press charges.

Most of the firearms violence right now is being committed by juveniles. This is no joke, and MCPS can't get away with treating it like a joke.

It would be great if the public knew how their tax dollars were at work lol.

Thanks gaslighter. It's not hard to turn on the news at night and see national stories and mcps constantly sued for millions. How bad is it going to get before you stop gaslighting and start improving from the toxicity of your profession.

Yes, I wish the gaslighters would stop with all the exaggerations and fake news. It's like Cato is pouring thousands into creating these false MCPS narratives with their army of right-wing turfers.

So many of these fake stories about lack of consequences or kids running wild with OMG cellphones are just complete rubbish.

Nah mcps is doing fine ruining their own reputation with real news.

Obviously you are not a teacher or a spinster gaslighter. Whatever you are you are full of it. By it I mean sht

For the record, admin pressures teachers all the time for good data and low incidents. They very very rarely give consequences for kids who commit bad rule breakage they prefer to take care of it in a cover-up fashion. Admin get promoted when sketchy biz goes down. Teachers get fired for to much blah blah about these stresses. Kids will cuss you out if you try to get them off cell phone videos games and YouTube during class time. Principals will mark you down if you do or do not do anything about it. Teachers will leave or get nonrenewed with blame game bs from admin and the union. They will make you use trash recyclables in a refuse room to make presentation tools if you decide to try to defend your job. Finally they will lie and fraud goverent agency for unemployment should you not fall on your sword and resign. Best course of action is for all of us to blazer to the media and don't forget to tell all your friends how messed up the system is and the reasons that make it impossible for education. Keep calm and chive on!

Real teachers can attest to this. This is why education is in crisis and teachers will not return or last long out of college.

What’s the basis of this assertion? There have been a few gun incidents this year. Notably Einstein.

Yup guns,no rules, no standards, crazy students, and admin and the union blame teachers. Then they cry boohoo we don't have no teachers. Haha. Well thanks but no thanks. Do it yourself and then you will see what we haaave to deal with.

The thing is when they are data driven they pressure you to just make up the data or it's your ass on the line.
