[quote=Anonymous]PP here:

MCEA is the teachers union.  They endorse the apple ballot, which always seems to get elected.   It is not an accident that MCPS has the highest paid teachers in the area with lots of off-days, simple pass/fail (P or not P) report cards with no teacher comments, and very little parent input.  The state version of MCEA has gotten a law passed that prevents Montgomery County and other counties from lowering the budget without losing state funding.  Remember when Federal govt workers had pay freezes during the recession.  Well, MCPS teachers got a bit raise after only a year or two of freezes.  This is all what you would expect when the union sits down the BOE to negotiate a budget with itself.

This ultimately is the voters fault, but many voters don't have kids in the schools and just vote for the "teacher" candidate with the signs everywhere.   Regardless, it is hard to argue that the MCEA doesn't have a large say in who get's elected and the policies of the system.  This is their system with the complicity of the voters.

If you want to complain, praise, etc. -  send Doug Prouty a message.

My personal view is that the teachers union needs to be at the table, but not the only one's at the table.   [/quote]
