[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here.

If teachers had all of the TWD/ER days with no meetings/PD a lot more could be done. We have a ridiculous amount of TWD and honestly the days that we have PD are mostly a waste of time. Teachers on Monday will be doing another equity training when they could be grading/planning.

Class sizes should be maxed at certain levels. IMO all classes should be capped at 25 kids. If teachers go above that cap they should be paid more and have additional planning time.

I wish that stupid diversity training thing was it for Monday. It would still be most of a day free.  Some teachers have meetings for the rest of the day as well, and many of us have to drive 30 minutes to another school for an another completely useless, poorly done PD. They talk about equity, but there is none for us - some teachers have 1 prep and hardly any PD or meetings, and others have 4 preps and meetings and PD for two departments.  [b]I'm so over this[/b].[/quote] Public schools continue to decrease in relevance among those with choices.  Good teachers will do well in the private/homeschooling/co-op sector.

Most of us do not have money to pay for private schools in addition to high RE taxes.  Even for old homes taxes doubled in last 10 years.  And quality of education is just going down while stupid admin is still focusing on dated woke agendas like you all say and who knows what.  It's sort of annoying to have to hear that in order to get quality education we have to pay for private schools, what's the point of moving to a "good school district"?  Merely for peer pressure to have to tutor your kids to keep up with other tutored kids higher standards?[/quote]
What are dated woke agendas? Can you give specific examples?[/quote]
