[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]16:26 You are an ideologue that wants to believe that your position is sacred and should be protected forever because you work with children.   I wish there was an issue of a small amount of dead wood in DCPS, but having been in the system with a marginally competent school I can tell you it is not the case.  You can believe what you want, but I have a kid that is being failed by these teachers.  We are moving out of it, so here is the deal, DCPS teachers can figure out how to change themselves or they will be left with only the kids no one takes care of because the rest of us will have fled.

My position is fine.  I don't work for DCPS (happily).  I work in an at-will teaching environment like DCPS, where the administration actually supports teachers and we can palpably feel that they want us to succeed in the class.  Newsflash:  at-will cuts both ways.  Teachers can also quit, and I expect many good ones will after a few more years of IMPACT.  I expect you are one of the people who feel that teachers have no right to search for work/life balance and workplace joy.  Are you one of the ones who was outraged that the apparently excellent Hearst principal quit DCPS in disgust and dared to turn his hand to cupcake making?  It cuts both ways my friends.  However, seeing that policy is currently in line with your view, it seems foolish that you are moving your kid out of DCPS.  It would seem the ball is in your court since you love IMPACT so much.  I guess my question is, if IMPACT has been around for two years and works so splendidly, why are your kids' awful teachers  still around?  How has IMPACT, so splendidly calibrated to weed out the awful, missed them?[/quote]
