[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only daily, direct, classroom-based, student instructional support position being cut is English composition assistants. There are 39 of us. I wish they'd cut our hours, or make it so there's only 1 in each high school, or something like that! We'd give up our COLA. The kids need our support! It's super sad to think that the kids who I've developed relationships with over the last several years won't have it next year. :( I have helped so many kids with their college essays - first gen, kids who don't understand the whole process.

Why on earth would they do that?  Writing instruction is so poor at MCPS as it is.  My MS 8th grader doesn't even write essays--it seems to be all auto-graded multiple choice tests for English.[/quote]

No surprise to me that Taylor is making stupid cuts - also, he is cutting lower-rung positions that are student-facing. Dumb. Instead, he should be taking out high-paid central office administrators, many of whom only swim in circles, with no real productive value.[/quote]
