[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM, there is _no reality_ where MCPS teachers are some kind of lazy fat cats.

I have no idea how they even survive the workday, and they are grossly underpaid for what is expected of them: teach everything to anyone who comes through that door, and adapt to their individual needs and interests along the way, and support them, and remain patient and kind, and stay in touch with parents, and keep up with documentation and paperwork, and plan creative lessons that take account of every micro-change in the social climate, and grade work instantaneously, and monitor classes, and spell others so they can attend meetings, and rack up continuing-education credits, and direct traffic in the parking lot, and decorate the physical spaces of the school ... oh, and be home with your feet up from your easy job by 4pm.

The vast majority of the.MCPS teachers I have known are extraordinary.  You need to understand their jobs before you criticize their exhaustion or their union.

And no, I'm not an MCPS teacher or administrator, or a member of central office or an agent of the school system.  I'm just a parent.  Who does have MS virtual conferences next week and is grateful for them. [/quote]

Thank you, parent, for seeing this!

I’m also grateful for you. Thank you for acknowledging what teachers are currently facing. You wrote it so well. [/quote]
