[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm fine with it. Entry level employees make the least. Experienced executives make 200K+. Makes sense to me.[/quote]

Okay.  Please tell me what these "experienced executives" are doing that makes them so valuable to FCPS.[/quote]

I mean, if you don't know what executives such as a CFO or a COO do, I'm not sure I'm going to waste my time explaining it to you, but I will ask you who the hell do you think you are insinuating that what they do isn't valuable? Where do you get off?

The nerve of you. Wow, just wow.[/quote]

The problem is that the “executives” here aren’t making schools more efficient or productive.  They are doing the opposite by creating unnecessary work for teachers and insisting we implement idealistic and unproven pedagogical theories (such as inclusion) that are practically impossible to make function smoothly in the classrooms.  They spend millions on contracts for flawed resources that we can’t use, and are willing to replace a sharp knife with a dull one for “reasons” that turn out to be false.  No, schoology does not easily integrate with SIS to make grading easier for teachers.

Currently, Gatehouse is pushing teachers to integrate AI into the classroom and we have a new contract with chatgpt - that push comes from people who want to sell tech, not teach children.  It is a corporate interest, not an educational one.

Gatehouse folks occupy a sphere that doesn’t truly “govern” the parts of education that are actually still working for your kids.  Teachers work around the BS handed down to us to be effective.

Gosh, this all makes my blood boil. 
Ed tech is already such an expensive and harmful failure. I can’t believe they are INCREASING spending on it when it really needs to be gotten rid of. Why “teach” kids AI when so many of them lack basic numeracy, literacy, writing and oral communication skills??
I’m not Catholic but if I had to do it over again right now, my kids would be attending Catholic or other traditional school.[/quote]
