People, how do we attract them to where they are needed most? From a west of the park school to an environment that can burn you out fast?

I am an excellent teacher at a private school for low-income students.  I used to teach at a very high need school in Ward 8.  I would be happy and eager to return to one of the poorest schools in DC if I were assured that disruptive students would be removed from the classroom and disciplined.  The most frustrating thing as a teacher in Ward 8 was having 3 students prevent 22 from learning anything.  [/quote]

Sorry, no can do.  As a teacher in DCPS, you are responsible for all of the children who turn up in your classroom.  Every child deserves an education, even the disruptive ones. If you can't handle them, you are inferior, according to DCPS and  are marked down on IMPACT.

According to Kwame Brown, teachers from ward 3 who have been rated highly effective are more likely to handle these problems than you, who have experience with these children and are eager to teach them.[/quote]
