[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that this thread is older, but I wanted to bump it to see if there were any additional perspectives. I'm not the OP, but have been in DCPS for about a decade and it feels especially unsustainable. I know I would be taking a 10-15k paycut if I moved to MCPS, but at the moment I really feel like I am not teaching. This is my second school in DCPS and the behavioral issues ([b]fights, kids leaving class, cursing me out if I question them[/b]) and lack of support from admin are very disheartening.

I know many - if not most -teachers (and students) are really struggling right now- but if there are any teachers who are currently happy in MCPS, can you share why? What is working for you, your students and your school?javascript:void(0);[/quote]

I teach at an elementary school in the Germantown/Gaithersburg area and we have these behaviors too. I will say, admin is supportive but the parents/guardins are not.  Teaching in general is very different now than it was five or ten years ago.  We need a lot more training around trauma and more wrap around services for families.  I think many of society's problems are getting played out in schools now and we are ill-equipped to address them in any meaningful way. [/quote]
