[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mcps educator here- i stay because the benefits are so good. You will lose good educators if you dismantle the union because our benefits will go downhill. We can't attract or retain current educators even with our good pay, pension and health benefits.  If you think the teaching staff is bad now, wait until you take away any positive benefits of the job.[/quote]

Then you need to fix what is wrong vs just focusing on money.  And, stop hiring non certified teachers who have no educational background. Some are ok, most aren’t.  [/quote]

Counties are going to hire those who are available. Career changers are available.

There’s a shortage of certified teachers willing to do the work. I know a ton of people who have moved out of the classroom and into other professions. You’d have to provide better working conditions to get them back. They’re happier where they are.

And MCPS isn’t going to pay people for all of their experience, either. Strong teachers moving with 20+ years of experience aren’t going to MCPS because the district caps the salary scale. Other districts and privates do not. [/quote]
