[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a shortage of teacher because no one wants to deal with Montgomery County parents.  I have various friends who are teachers at MCPS and if they didn't have the level of seniority that they have, and would have to go backwards, they would leave MCPS in a heartbeat for school districts that treat their staff better.

They are shielded from parents. I've worked in a toxic school environment (in Bethesda) and it was the principal that is the problem, not parents. I would love it if Congress sent subpoenas to principals like the one I worked under recently, but they're to busy investigating the toxic work environment of a football team instead I guess.

Principals who don't respect paras, special ed teachers and classroom monitors, and who make NT teachers curl up inside themselves should be fired or moved to office jobs. They make work suck, and people predictably leave.[/quote]

YOU may have been “shielded from parents,” but most teachers aren’t, and they’re sick to death of the attitudes and the entitlement.[/quote]

Right on but I think the problem is worse where parents feel most entitled and are pushy.[/quote]

Give a specific example at a specific school.  How many parents were involved?  What did they do?  What did you do?  Why did the parent feel the need to get involved?  Did you talk to the parent(s)?  Did you complain to your P or the PTA?  [/quote]

Everyone knows those schools. I don't have to name them. Examples of what goes on there are already discussed here ad nauseam.[/quote]

Schools that start with a "W" for $100[/quote]
