[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.   That statement is gaslighting.  The public wants answers as to why teachers are unsupported in a toxic climate and your statement is gaslighting.  Well I guess it's par for the course thus supporting my thesis.  Teachers are not on the same page.  New teachers will be ganged up on if they don't shut their mouths and go with it

Your apathy when your industry is in crisis is frightening.[/quote]

100% My first year coming in as a 2nd career education I was told to shut my mouth and know my place by a 'seasoned' teacher when I spoke up about practices I knew were not equitable towards all students. I knew then I made a huge mistake going into teaching. I do keep my mouth shut now.  You will absolutely be penalized. There is no environment of collaboration.  MCPS has made things so toxic from teacher to teacher - it's so hard to know who to trust! I just focus on ensuring my students are doing the best they can with the tools I can offer them.....and I'm working on my exit plan now. There are so many corrupt individuals who KNOW things are bad, but refuse to speak up.   Why? Who knows...protecting their own interests I suppose.   [/quote]

And this is why things will continue to get worse instead of getting better.  Instead of teachers taking their union to task on not fighting for the things they and they students really need, folks are turning on one another and planning to take their ball and go home.

I don’t want teacher’s suffering in silence.  I want them to loudly rally for what they and their students actually need.  I want them to rally for true professional development.  I want them to expose corruption and lazy administrators. I want them to challenge them politicians to make meaningful education policy.[/quote]
