[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s inexcusable and bizarre. I worked in PGCPS before MCPS. They  have mandatory new teacher orientation where they fingerprint you, run your background check, the whole thing. When I got hired in MCPS the new teacher orientation was a ton of speeches, kid performances, and then almost a full day of getting curriculum slides read to me. MCPS gets away with SO much because of reputation. State test security and special education services need to be investigated next. [/quote]

MCPS fingerprints all new employees. You know, unless youre lying, that MCPS orientation is AFTER youve been cleared. It states this on all orientation materials, you can't attend until you have been. This report is speaking to cps checks not fingerprints or [b]background checks[/b], they are separate [/quote]

No, the report is not JUST speaking to CPS checks. It also speaks to background checks. You need to re-read the report before yourself before you attempt to accuse and chastise others for getting information wrong.[/quote]

No 'attempt' here. The information that mcps does not screen new employees is wrong. Full stop. You can't even register or enroll in payroll before your screening is completed. [/quote]

The poster you are attempting to correct did NOT claim that MCPS "does not screen new employees." The poster compared the serious, business-focused nature of new teacher orientation at PGCPS, which included the fingerprint and background screening, compared to MCPS's light, fluffy, child-like new teacher orientation, which focused on content delivery from reading slides verbatim.

Your reading comprehension is lacking. Go back to school.[/quote]
DP.
No, the poster was trying to purposefully mislead. 
Read between the lines. It's obvious it's your reading comprehension that is lacking.

I’m the poster and I assure you I was not trying to mislead. I was just sharing my experience. The attitude that MCPS is infallible needs to change. I don’t know how we can make improvements when there are so many people that refuse to admit when there are issues. That mindset is why employees were still filling out paper time sheets up until last year. [b]Other districts aren’t having these problems so MCPS needs to adapt and get with the times.[/b] [/quote]

MCPS’ issues are no different than any other district. They are just much bigger so everything is amplified.

I’m not saying there aren’t concerns but they are similar to what is going on across the country.

So basically, the equivalent of a first grader's "But everyone else was doing it too, so why do I get in trouble" argument. Seriously? How pathetic.[/quote]
