[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an administrator who was assigned one of these teachers to work at my elementary school this year as a SPED teacher. I finally met them this past week and it took them two hours to get to our school from their apartment in Silver Spring. While the teacher is experienced in the Philipines, they don't have much experience with technology which is now a huge component of the job. On a personal note, I'm appalled that MCPS has four grown adults sharing one bedroom apartments with no concrete plans for transportation. T[b]hese individuals are expected to utilize public transportation to travel all over the county? It's utterly ridiculous.[/b] We provided our teacher with Giant gift cards after we were told they had been relying on canned food donations since their arrival. 
This is going to be next disaster MCPS has to clear up.[/quote]

Thank you for your honesty

I totally understand this, but there are so many everyday people in Moco who travel all over the county by bus, many paraeducators included. Lots of low income and newcomer families also primarily have to eat canned food. While it's unfortunate, this often happens when you move to a new country until you get on your feet. How do I know? My parents both came to Moco from other countries and had these experiences. While they are annoying, it happens. These teachers have jobs and are getting paid. Why are we handholding and crying about this? They will be fine.

I also don't believe the info of four grown adults sharing a one-bedroom apartment. That's actually illegal in terms of Moco dwelling rules. [/quote]

Its fine for them to share an apartment.  Question is who is paying for all that if they are getting regular MCPS salaries.  The company website who they have the contract with clearly says you need to bring a few thousand to pay for living and other expeneses before you get a paycheck.  These people knew what they were getting into.[/quote]
