[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see why the community should have been engaged at all. The mistake here was in even paying lip service. The principal should have just handed down a fiat and been done with it. The teachers were apparently doing something that was well above and beyond and outside of their contract. They decided they no longer wish to do this. Why should the community be consulted? What makes you think that you have the right to demand that the teachers do this, and that it should even be an option on the table to keep? And if it's not a real option, what is there to discuss with the community? Were you actually dumb enough to think that your screaming and tantrums would cause the school to say, "Oh yeah, then we'll keep forcing the teachers to do work they aren't paid for, to placate you?", or that it would be a good thing if they did? Get over yourself.

No one is making you go to the magnet. If you don't like it, go back to your home school. The other 99.9% of the county who never had this in the first place is hardly crying into their soup.  [/quote]

Magnet teachers try the best learners in the county, so they should be doing extra work in exchange for not having to deal with poorly behaved kids and disengaged kids. Plenty of teachers would love to take the place of the magnet teachers. [/quote]

Teacher here who has worked with many different student populations. They are ALL challenging, just in different ways. Magnet teachers don’t have easier jobs, and many teachers actually avoid teaching at magnets because of the additional workload (more grading, more parent contacts, etc.).[/quote]

This exactly. Magnet teaching is not easy. It is challenging in a different way. And the parents tend to be way extra. [/quote]
