[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ES teachers only seem to care about testing.  So little actual learning is going on.

If 20% of them leave, there are probably computer programs who will do a better job.  Lexia Power Up last summer taught my child more than two years in the classroom.  [/quote]

Most teachers feel we must test too often.  I won't tell you the percentage of my total instructional time is spent testing (testing mandated by the district), because you won't believe me.  Nor will I tell you the total number of days I'm pulled out of the classroom for useless meetings that parents have no idea about.  The excessive testing is part of what is pushing educators out.

You are being purposely mean.  It's interesting to me that while I've only met a small handful of parents who seem to hate teachers in real life over 20 years in education, but anonymity seems to unleash hate in so many.  I am a dedicated, caring, hard working, results producing teacher.  I'm not leaving this year, but I won't be staying the full 34+ years.  There's a serious, serious school staff shortage.  [/quote]

Part of the beauty of DCUM is that people say what they truly think.  It’s clear that most FCPS teachers have delivered little to no education over the past years.  [/quote]
