[quote=Anonymous][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.

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]

My mother quit MCPS when she felt she was too micromanaged to be creative and had the ability to individualize instruction for her students. She had decades of experience but her wisdom was no longer valued by administrators half her age and a fraction of her experience.

Teachers are not robots - at least the good ones anyway. [/quote]
