[quote=Anonymous]So...mcps felt that all children needed to sleep more. Money was spent to change times, bells, busses etc. Mcps feels like more diversity is needed and are willing to spend 300,000$ for a consultant. Seems like a lot of cash waste that could be utilized to pay teachers more, increase retention etc. Some studies say that diversity may benefit one’s education. Some studies say that it there is no proven benefit. Some studies say that parental involvement improves one’s education. Some studies do not not support this notion. All studies support that excellent teachers benefit a child’s education. Why is mcps fooling with the children instead of supporting the teachers who directly impact the quality of education. Ex: At Kennedy there are 100 children completing a bridge project? Then get more teachers in there to teach. You can’t expect one teacher to put in all this extra time to help these children in a meaningful way—leads to teacher burn out. This is a ploy to take attention away from overcowded and underfunded schools and undervalued teachers. [/quote]
