[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The EML situation at some of the schools is out of control. Today I had to give out letters that need to be signed by the parents of EML students. ONE student in my 4th-grade class did not get a letter. ONE out of 23.[b] The class is impossible to teach. Not only are there so many newcomers with little English, but they are also coming in with minimal education even in their native language.[/b] Yet we are required to make sure that we keep up with the grade level curriculum. And now we are supposed to somehow design every lesson around their language needs. Impossible!

Yet instead of having help from the ELD teachers, they are busy doing county mandated paperwork- individually scanning in tons of documents page by page. What a waste of time. Focus on the children- not paperwork. That also goes toward the SLO's that were mentioned. Let us teach the children. Provide the support that is needed.

And then there is Home School Model. Why am I having no support with students who cannot do 4 + 1 without their fingers? CKLA- So far above their heads. But where are the SPED teachers? Oh yeah- they are no longer able to support in ELA and all is left to the classroom teacher.

MCPS has ruined education.

This is an issue that needs to be dealt with as it is only getting worse.

Like it or not, we are in this situation as a direct result of our local politics.  And teachers are being left to pick up the pieces.  [/quote]
