[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a nonprofit make 300K/year and I do not manage anyone. The CEO makes 2.9M plus 1M bonus. I wouldn’t mind that teacher getting paid 200K/yr but I want them to be held accountable. In other words, [b]they can be fired if they don’t perform, no more Union protection[/b]. If I have to pay more in taxes, so be it.[/quote] They can be fired. How much “protection” do you think “unions” offer in a district like FCPS? [/quote] I have been working in FCPS for 20+ years and I have seen a lot of bad teachers, myself included. Not a single one of them has been fired for performance reasons.[/quote] Is that because you were protected by your union (which doesn’t even have a collective bargaining agreement)? Or was it some other reason such as admin didn’t want or didn’t have time to document and go through the process? [/quote] DP here. I saw one teacher fired during my career. It was not in FCPS. She was sent to my school from another school on "probation." Nice gal. Very tense and had absolutely no classroom control. The principal tried to help (at least that is what he said.) He said she would not accept the help. That year was a disaster for the students in her class. But, ultimately, she was fired.[/quote] I don't doubt your story but admin does little to help teachers in fops[/quote] Did you notice that I said that the principal SAID he tried to help? I'm not so sure he really did. I think she was sent to our school for the express purpose of having this principal fire her. In this instance, I don't know what anyone could have done to help. This girl quivered when you spoke to her. She did not belong in the classroom. She had taught at least four years before this in at least two different schools. Perhaps, she was better at the beginning. [/quote]
