[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here, not OP and I'm real. What is so hard to believe? I work in DCPS, I see first hand what our district has to offer our kids. It's silly. You are going to force extended day on us, to reach the target of kids who need it. Heck no! You are going to mandate that teachers spend thirty minutes a day of phonics when half of my class are advanced readers? You are going to let untold violence to occur in the classrooms with no consequences because low suspension rates = higher principal evaluations?  25 year old administrators who are ill equipped for the job? Oh, and let's not forget some of the new proposed gerrymandered boundaries that will keep schools, like my current IB from ever having a chance at success.THIS is what the district is EOTP. And for those of you who think you'll turn around a school with blood, sweat, and tears. You won't. I've worked in those schools. You won't.
   Being on the inside makes you realize there is no way in hell I'd put my kid in those schools. And we will live in a 1 bedroom, living room- whatever it takes to give my kid a fighting chance. 
The fact you think I'm a troll shows just how out of touch you are.[/quote]

I never call troll but I see why people would.  1st, who knew our city's teachers were so nasty?  Thank goodness you won't ever be in my kids' classrooms.  2nd, you will probably say who cares about writing ability and grammar (punctuation, etc.) on a web forum, but if you are coming out here saying you're a teacher, you might consider looking over what you right.  Specifically, you might consider your usage of commas (you use them unnecessarily in some places and omit necessary ones in others).  Often times people use hyphens in phrases such as 25-year-old and ill-equipped.  Another thought -- newLY proposed."  3rd, you haven't seen the success that has been achieved in some DCPS schools largely through the input, work, and, yes, blood, sweat, and tears of the parents?  Have you visited Brent lately?  Maury?

Anyway, I have no problem if you rent a place IB for a different school and live there while your kids go to school there.  What does that matter?  If you actually violate the rules of your employer and live IB for one school while claiming IB for another, I am horrified by your lack of integrity.  I would expect better from a person who professes to guide children.  However, maybe teachers like you are part of the reason many of our schools are so bad?[/quote]
