[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So all this is telling me why MCPS has stagnant overwhelmed mediocre teachers.  They stay for benefits and slightly better pay instead of being happy and thriving.  [/quote]

Job #1: good pay, good benefits, good job security
Job #2: bad pay, bad benefits, no job security

Which job would the typical person prefer? Which job will attract the better candidates?[/quote]

Sorry but NO teacher should be secure in their job.  That is the problem with public schools.  You should have to earn it year in and year out.  Same with the principals.  Being a great teacher in a school that loves you is job security at a private and not always in a public. Two of the best teachers were let go of my daughter's public school last year because of budget decreases and ratio increases.  Being moved from one school to another as well as grades is not job security.  One left the district completely.

I think private school teachers are happier.  I know our friend can work on her doctorate and has extended winter, spring and summer breaks.  She also has probably half the paperwork and more autonomy.  They can actually be passionate and TEACH.  Not conform and test, then test again, and again!  [/quote]
