[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who went to school in mcps in the 90s and early 2000s, the disdain for teachers in this thread is unreal. 
Frightening really. [/quote]

My youngest just graduated from MCPS and I agree with you. And I think the entitlement, the lack of understanding, the low expectations of their kids with the corresponding demand that teachers coddle.

I mean, keeping track of assignments and turning them in is a skill that MCPS starts to teach in 6th grade. To expect teachers of seniors to make sure mommy knows each assignment and each due date after years of teaching their child to do this independently scares me.

These parents are in for a huge awakening in college. They will either realize their kids played them when magically they are independently successful as a freshman or they will realize their kids may be lost causes and only have themselves to blame because they didn’t force accountability when they had more control. Blaming teachers and expecting hand holding is not going to make kids independent.

Anyways, MCPS teachers, my family appreciates you. You did a great job with all three of my kids. I am impressed at how hard you work and how much you accomplish when you are under resourced and have to deal with the behavioral challenges of the modern school experience. [/quote]
