[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a common problem. Get your kid to follow it up with the teacher and failing that you should contact the Assistant Principal in charge of academics. [/quote]

Yes, it’s a common problem. It will remain a common problem until teachers are given work time to get grading done.

I do recommend reaching out to administration, though. That will help them remember how big of a problem this is. Keep in mind administrators don’t have papers to grade, so they have likely forgotten what it’s like to take that load home each night.[/quote]

Our admin are useless but its the teachers responsibilty to grade and if they cannot be doing it, its on them to talk to their admin and get help, not the parents.  If you want students to follow the rules, you need teachers to as well.[/quote]

Teachers are speaking up. They are also quitting. The workload is BEYOND crushing.

If parents are angry, then parents should also speak up. I’m in full support of that. I’ve been in this field a very long time, long enough to realize that teachers’ voices are often ignored and that we are considered disposable. If we push back, we are often pushed out.

But until teachers are given work time to get work done, I don’t know how this will change. It’s absolutely absurd that teachers are required to work literally DOZENS of extra hours a pay period.

As a parent advocate whose voice has been ignored and has seen others parents' voices ignored by MCPS for years, I can assure that's not the case.

The only "voice" that works with MCPS is lawsuits and bad media coverage.[/quote]
