[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher in a different county and didn’t read the entire thread but maybe MCPS should go out on a limb and actually ask teachers what would entice them to stay in the classroom. I think the answers would be enlightening. [/quote]

I don’t think so.  MCPS knows what would entice teachers to stay in the classroom.  The ability to deliver those enticements is the challenge.  Let’s see if teachers agree with the list:

- Smaller class sizes
- More planning time
- Student respect and less discipline issues
- More autonomy 
- Career ladder 
- Enforcing a cell phone policy
- Relevant Professional Development

The easiest of these to implant is enforcement of cell phone policy.  Many others require funding and staff, which we know is short.[/quote]

Enforcement of the cell phone policy would also require significant funding and staff. If it didn’t, they would have done it already.[/quote]

Not to mention it's a violation of their rights. Schools can't just cease property on a whim.[/quote]

Student rights are limited within school buildings.  Plenty of public schools ban cell phones and “seize” them for pick-up by parents.[/quote]
