[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Today’s email:

Dear MCPS Staff,

UPDATE: Extended School Year (ESY) comprehensive sites and discrete special education programs are still in need of both teachers and paraprofessionals.

This worries me because these are the kids who are most in need to summer school AND the staff that historically do it willingly every year without an extra pay. The fact that people don’t want to teach ESY this year even with extra pay tells me that teachers and paras feel unsafe or emotionally drained or something else. Maybe in addition to underpaid, but that is not the main issue. DCUM, ask MCPS to look after the special Ed staff. And maybe lay off the verbal abuse.[/quote]

[b]ALL this email tells me is that MCPS did not incentivize its workers enough for them to sign up. NO OFFENSE but an extra $200 is paltry compared to any other working professional field. *Sigh* MCPS needs to have a better incentive, perhaps if they raise it to $300 or $400 people would sign up quickly. This is worrying behavior for the fall.[/b][/quote]
It’s not about the money. It’s about being emotionally exhausted. I’ve never worked ESY but the majority of my coworkers do every year. I know very few who are this year. We all need a break and are either finding other summer jobs or just not working at all. [/quote]
