[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if parents realize this, but teachers lost a planning period this year. We now are required to spend one planning period doing random tasks for the school (like hall or lunch monitoring) and are losing hours a week of time that would’ve been dedicated to grading. It wasn’t always like this, but this, combined with the retake policy, is probably why teachers are particularly swamped this year. [/quote]

I feel like this county is failing students and teachers. There is a lack of care from teachers and anger/frustration that is being directed at students. It's the message I don't need to grade or reteach because I have too many kids and not enough time. I wish parents and teachers would come together for the kids. FCPS is becoming a horrible school system. And no I don't know what the answer is but teachers fighting parents and parents fighting teachers is not the answer. The kids keep losing.[/quote]

I’m not angry or frustrated at my students? I’m frustrated with admin for taking away 3 hours of planning time during our contract hours and forcing us to find time outside of school. Different teachers have different bandwidths for how much we can take home. And remember, we don’t get paid a penny of overtime.

I don’t blame the kids or even the parents at all, they didn’t do anything! This is all leadership’s fault. [/quote]
