[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

There is not disdain for teachers. Newsflash: Not all teachers are great and not all teachers do the things that should be done. Parents and students who experience those things have a right to speak about those experiences without being labeled anti-teacher.

You are advocating for a scenario in which no teacher should be held accountable and that is unfair and insane.

There are good teachers and bad teachers. There are good parents and bad parents. I'm sure neither group appreciates being labeled with the same brush by the worst in their category, but we also can't deny the bad actors and experiences if we hope to improve the educational experience overall.[/quote]

Who the heck is advocating for a scenario in which teachers aren't held accountable? I challenge you to go back and find that statement.

The rudeness on this thread is absolutely astounding. Unfortunately for all of us, the lazy teachers don't remotely care what you think of them. The only people who are listening and getting offended are those doing the right thing... the teachers who sacrifice to give your children the best experience possible. I don't understand what you achieve by being so callous and dismissive toward people giving their all to do the job well.

And, before the "why aren't you teaching" poster gets on me for posting during school hours: I work in a different district and am done for the year. (Incidentally, I am online prepping for next year already.)

Then no need to post in mcps like you are a teacher when you are not for our kids. [/quote]

DP. Firstly, anyone can post anywhere on DCUM. Also, This teacher could have kids in MCPS. Just because someone called out the unbelievably poor treatment of teachers doesn’t mean you get police the thread. No to mention, dragging teachers is off topic. Get back to whining about how unfair the MCPS grading system is for all the mediocre kids. All the parents with gifted kids are happy that they aren’t viewed the same as all those kids getting 89.5s and making MCPS look like a joke to colleges.[/quote]

There is no consistency with the grading.  My kid got a bad grade on a writing assignment from a different teacher helping out and a perfect score with no changes on the final draft, and they refused to fix it.  Its not unreasonable to have teachers post, do it accurately, not change the due dates, post the materials, etc.  And, give enough assignments and points to be reasonable if kids get marked down for something.  Giving 10 point assignments for 10 assignments for the semester is unfair when one dig is a b.

Teachers can advocate for pay raises every year.  Surely if they can put the fight in that they can the other issues that bother them.  Not the parents job.[/quote]
