[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the MS trips to Spanish speaking countries also this private company advertising through the school?

Do they do this for all World Language classes?
I don't mind it on principle, but they should be clear about who's running the trip. [/quote]

They shouldn't be allowed to advertise it via email and MCPS when it's not an MCPS approved trip.  My husband got all excited to see them until I showed him all the information and he realized it was pretty shady.[/quote]

100 percent this. The teachers are using their public offices for private benefit. [/quote]

This.  It’s weird.  We’re at a lower-income MS with a high ELL/FARMS rate and there are two teachers who advertise this quite heavily using their MCPS email.  It is an email coming FROM your kid’s teacher.  [/quote]

Complain to the principal. It’s not permitted.[/quote]

Not true that it isn’t permitted. Plus, MCPS also permits private companies to advertise other opportunities like used piano sales. These are allowed because there’s a tangible benefit to students.

Yes, true that it’s not permitted for teachers to send out though Canvas and mislead families into thinking it’s a class trip organized by MCPS. Go ask your principal.[/quote]
