[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If MCPS really cared about low income kids, they would have smaller class sizes, a ban on cell phones in class, and an actual attendance policy. I teach at a HS with a majority of immigrant students. There is a huge range of student ability in my classes but with class sizes of 30+ students including many students with IEPs, there is only so much I can do to help struggling students. Many students miss 2-3 days every week or they leave to visit their home country for 4-6 weeks and MCPS just says help them make up the missed learning. Most kids are also addicted to their cell phones so that is another battle teachers are expected to fight on their own.

MCPS does care about disadvantaged kids, it is a very hard problem to fix. [/quote]

Do they though? MCPS is very into things like the school leadership team spending hours on MCPS assigned anti-racist audit paperwork rather than using that time to work on strengthening the school, but every single time teachers suggest ways to be actively antiracist at the school or classroom level they are dismissed as "not being a team player" by absolutely everyone above them.

MCPS won't listen to you unless you are a white parent or a paid consultant. Prove me wrong. [/quote]
