[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ex-mcps teacher here. I taught here 15 yrs ago, coming from a top private school in Westchester County NY that served the kids of hedge fund managers. When I got here, hands down, everything we did blew away that expensive private school. [b]Teachers were able to individualize and use creativity but we had high standards to meet. [/b]Now, with kids in the system, I’m desperate to get out. Haters, don’t tell me to enroll in private bc I can’t afford it. We are trapped in pathetic schools with no standard of excellence. [/quote]

This is the best description I've read.  (I added the bold).  Teachers need to be paid more, too.  Now many ppl who would have been teachers 20-30-40 years ago get better paying jobs.  The pay is absolutely atrocious and cannot meet living costs (that have hugely escalated) here in MoCo.

I never thought I'd be desperate to get out of MCPS but had no choice it was that. bad.  The level of incoompetence, unethical stuff, and pure burnout I saw was just beyond belief.[/quote]
