[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no way that I would ever send my child to school to sit with a classroom monitor - someone who has no college education, someone whose background has not been thoroughly evaluated. Not a hope in hell.

I have tried to hire nannies willing to work with my two children. The ones willing to work for $15 an hour and I would never have hired. If they implement the classroom monitor scenario, I can guarantee they are going to be dealing with legal problems for years to come.[/quote]

Are you a teacher with kids who aged out? If you're a parent, did you choose in person or DL back in July? What grades are your children in? Have they doing ok with what FCPS is providing so far?

What feasible alternative do you propose? I agree that for many college grads with other options, $15/hr is not an attractive amount for the amount of risk. But take a guess how much those nonteacher people supervising SACC before and after school classes used to get. Most are not college grads, they were not licensed teachers. SACC centers all over Fairfax have run fine all these years. Kids are not suddenly at greater risk compared to the caliber of SACC people/instructors.

Don't say hire only college grads, do a background investigation so thorough it takes a long time to hire, and pay them higher, like 40 dollars an hour. Pretend you're the superintendent and propose a realistic solution please. [/quote]
