[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent I'm really upset MCPS took away a professional day recently to have teachers watch a PD video that teachers have told me was useless. That resulted in them having less time to prepare class, grade and address concerns from and about students. I'd like to hear more specifics about what a teacher's work week looks like so that the community can advocate to help create a more realistic way for teachers to meet all the demands by their school admin while still being able to teach.
What is the main challenge this year that is taking time away from your own classroom needs? Needing to fill in as subs or taking on additional duties such as car or bus duty? Confusing curriculum mandates? Lack of supplies so you need to spend your time and money on this issue? Other PD training?

I didn’t feel personally unsafe this week other than about 40 seconds when girls in a bathroom were screaming and we didn’t know why. This was not “normal” preteen girl screaming in excitement. It was blood-curdling shrieks by at least three different girls. Security came too late to see what the problem was.

There have been other times when I’ve called security, but no one came. Fewer fights than last year so maybe they are busy de-escalating?[/quote]
