[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I left mid-year for safety issues and lack of support from administration.  From a W cluster ES.  Long-term subs taking over, many unqualified, sometimes there are no subs.

Not going back, my sanity and safety aren't worth it[/quote]

I would very much like to know specifics about the safety issues a lack of support from admin.  I'm a parent that would like to be helpful to the teachers and I think we just don't have enough details to know.[/quote]

Multiple kids in my ES have such physical dangerous behaviors of throwing chairs and shoving desks and punching kids. But no adult can touch them, no restraint to keep them from harming others. So they clear the classrooms and bring counselors by to spend 30m to 2 hours trying to calm the kid down. The out of control kid has more rights than the well behaved ones. Then they come back the next day and they may just do it again, there's no repercussions. Some have obvious special needs, some don't. One of the students with clear special needs desperately needs a new placement, but mcps makes it hard, a slow painful process. So then what? Can't withhold recess. Parents practically hand the kid their phone when they pick them up to placate them, so no repercussions at home either. The admin, counselors, and teachers work so increasingly hard to keep routine and practice anger management and calming strategies, but it's just too much. [/quote]
