[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an mcps educator and send my kids to mcps public schools.  What I am seeing is disheartening.  Teachers are at their breaking point; the behaviors and needs of the kids are unbelievable; Many are quitting even after many years of service; We are hiring whoever we can get- probably subpar people because at this point we need warm bodies; The education is suffering- I see teachers playing a YouTube video of a book read aloud instead of reading the book themselves; Gym and art teachers running their class with videos instead of good direct instruction- I guess they are tired and this isn't forbidden; I work with my own kids on basic facts because I don't trust the system to do a good job. Too many needy kids, burnt out teachers, poor instructional approaches, a growing lack of resources...the list goes on anc on; I truly believe mcps is sinking ship and will continue to decline year over year[/quote]

As a parent, we are at our breaking point too.  Teachers who don’t teach, grade assignments, review assignments and give feedback, don’t return emails from students or parents and do the absolute minimum.  My kids are in tutoring for some subjects more than the actual class time because of the lack of instruction and textbooks to teach your self.  You need to work with parents instead of complaining and kids will not thrive without a good support system.  And enough with the small group projects and discussions.   Get back to teaching.

Cool let me know when they invent a machine that adds more hours to the day. Get back to yelling at the void I guess [/quote]

Then, don't complain about parents not caring or not being involved when we try and the teachers aren't responsive.  This is why so many kids are struggling.[/quote]

If you're actually doing the proper job of a parent, why are you so incredibly defensive then? I've found that people who are doing their jobs properly know the discussion isn't aimed to them. Defensive people are usually defensive because they know they are guilty. [/quote]
