[quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher in MCPS. I have not personally overheard anyone say they plan to leave. I will say that I am much happier teaching elective courses. Anyone teaching math or English looks perpetually exhausted by the testing, grading, and constant pressure from admin to improve scores. The number of kids who need remediation is staggering. So many kids cannot do basic math in their head or write a complete sentence. Usually, these are the same kids who seem to want to be constantly on their phones or seeking drama. I think we need to seriously consider holding kids back in the early grades to focus on the basics. I can only imagine the frustration encountered by elementary school teachers who need to teach all the basics.[/quote]
