[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please, anyone. Volunteer as a sub so you can see how insane the working conditions are for many teachers.  If too many QUALIFIED teachers leave, then we are in big big trouble.  Services won't happen for your own children. Everyone will be impacted. Everyone. I personally have one foot out the door. As soon as I graduate with my Master's in my new field, I will be leaving myself.  This was my 2nd career, what I thought would be my last career. I was planning on the publically posted STEPS  to help me plan my life.  Now who knows what will happen year to year? I can't afford this much instability between working conditions (zero support) and always having to wonder if I will be making what I was supposed to be making. There is no way we will attract and retain good quality educators the way things are now.  I guarantee if this was your career, you would be upset too.  I get why they did that.  They are fed up with not being listened to.  Change won't happen unless someone speaks up.  [/quote]

Is that due to lack of funding, or poor management?

Montgomery is #3 in MD by local (country) contributions to school as a % of budget, behind tiny Worcester and Talbot counties.

I’m willing to bet poor management.  100%. [/quote]
