[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]English teachers out here need it desperately too…..
We were told that we shouldn’t worry because the county will invest in “trainings to help teachers monitor technology without technology.”
I wish I was joking….investments in us spending most of our class time staring at kids screens???

It’s the shit like this (compounded with being forced to pass illiterate teenagers) that makes me demoralized and want to quit….like there wasn’t any teacher survey about how we use GoGuardian before they decided to nix it. They just didn’t think enough teachers were using it (again,they didn’t actually talk to teachers).

MCPS spends SO MUCH— WAY too much in my opinion —on central office bloat (McKnight superintendent just got to create cushy new superfluous positions for corrupt friends) RJ, way too many communications staff + crisis PR team +legal for getting sued over the culture of bullying etc teachers deal with…money on the stupid photo ops and comms messages from The superintendent to staff telling them to “remember their why” and that MCPS is “stronger” than recent media portrayals…(that’s a lie)

Why couldn’t they listen to the boots on the ground? The actual teachers in the classrooms? About what they need? 
Everyone at my large school is upset about GoGuardian being taken away. Looking at how much corruption was in central office and all those friends of McKnight and Brian Hull getting 250k salaries…..

Like really? We can’t afford GoGuardian? We can’t talk to the actual teachers? I know not everyone uses it, but, A LOT of teachers still do and it is invaluable. Especially when it comes to attempting to stop plagiarizing and blatant copying.

If I didn’t care about my kids, I would just honestly give up.

A LOT is relative.  For example someone might think 2000 teachers using go guardian is a lot.  But evaluating that to a license contract for say 10,000 staff, that is only 20% usage.   This is why people are saying you’re going to need to back up your feelings or anecdotal data with actual evidence against usage data.[/quote]
