[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The simple answer is that it is very difficult to get rid of a tenured teacher unless some misbehavior is suspected. I think a lot has to do with the teacher's relationship with the principal. We have a lousy teacher in our ES but she survives, and there have been complaints about her teaching levied for about 8 years. You'd have to pay me lots to teach in MCPS, and frankly, I am unimpressed with 2.0 and the new grading.[/quote]

This is bad but why is everyone focusing on getting rid of the teachers? The principals, area superintendents, curriculum office staff, planning office and superintendent are the level of positions that should be held accountable and someone should be fired for all the failures. The teachers are not responsible for 2.0 or the new grading system. The teachers are not responsible for Algebra 2.0. The teachers were not the ones who let Joynes stay in the system.

Yes, there are some bad teachers but many teachers are just as fed up with MCPS. [/quote]

How about teachers who:

*lose kids' assignments
*fail to grade kids' work
*enter NOTHING in Edline all quarter and then input 3-4 grades, all bad, with no explanation - and then cannot find the work when asked about it
*can't find a student's work so gives him 100%
*can't find a student's work so gives him a zero
*does not control the classroom at all such that it is mayhem all the time

I know a teacher like this.  Some of us have been riding the administration about it for YEARS (multiple kids from same family have had the teacher).  And they are "working on it."

Seriously?[/quote]
