[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not from what I have seen but if you say so. Also, VA doesn't use CCSS so they can get away with "fake teaching" much easier than teachers from other places, including DCPS. [quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And the VA teachers that I have have seen transfer to DCPS can't hack it. One transferred to a JKML for year then packed up and moved back to VA. Another got a low IMPACT score and likely went back to VA with her tail between her legs, and another is just clueless and expects her colleagues to do her work for her. There you go...at least 3 and there are more. [/quote]

I think it's been determined that few people can hack the violence, dysfunction and straight out scamming that takes place in DC schools. And the turnover rate--which begins in Sept and continues through the spring--indicates that TONS of teachers from ALL OVER end up leaving. What's telling is that they return to VA, clearly because it's a much better system to work in. I don't disagree that teachers go into DCPS from VA schools. I simply argue that it's not because they are soooooo attracted by the bonus. If that was the case, they'd stick it out and play the game to get the $. Most would rather teach, are used to teaching and prefer that over nonsense. [/quote][/quote]

You do realize that VA & every other state has educational standards, don't you. Frankly they're all the same. They're just not called Common Core. And pls stop trying to put down VA teachers and schools. No one would argue that DC has VA schools beat. You almost sound jealous. Were you unable to get a job in a VA school? Your dislike of VA teachers makes no sense. VA schools surpass those in MD & DC. It has not one charter. Yet no one complains. The public schools are great there.[/quote]
