[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]mcps has the money but isn't choosing to prioritize safety. having so little supervision during recess in its 106 elementary schools is negligent.

hope it doesn't take a serious widely publicized incident to force mcps to finally make keeping young children safe a priority.[/quote]

I’m a parent and I want to raise this issue at our school and across the county. We should not be waiting for something horrific to happen to address this. 1:50 or worse is simply unsafe. Who can I talk to? School board? Administrators in the system? [/quote]

Kids this age used to play in neighborhoods unsupervised all day every day. You want to complain? Get support inside classrooms for the love of god. Recess is the least of my concerns. I’d love to see assistant teachers in every ES classroom, k-5. And not a para who will be pulled in 50 different directions. A dedicated person who works alongside the teacher every day to make sure groups are pulled, work is marked and returned in a timely manner, students are held accountable for behavior, things are documented, etc. I guarantee you teachers would stop leaving in droves if they had supportive coteachers to help keep up with everything. The current system is not sustainable for ES teachers. And it’s not the pay that’s the problem. It’s the lack of support. [/quote]
