[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They shouldn’t cut teachers. They should cut out all the BS programs that don't actually teach kids academics, and cut out all the layers of fat in admin.[/quote]

This and all those computer programs!

Also, check who is actually abiding by their contract. Recently an extended family member who works as a special ed (or similar I don't want to give specifics) teacher at DCPS bragged to everyone (including relatives who work in public schools in other states) that they roll in a little before 9 and leave right after 3 even though their contract states they must be in at 8 and [b]stay until 4[/b].

Their own kids attend a DC charters (because the public isn't good enough) and have a partner who WFH.  They admitted it clearly hurts their students and planning, but that they keep doing it and no one has said anything for a long time.  It just really hurt my heart that they knew it hurt their students, but didn't care.  I have other stories of this family member "gaming the system" and it made me look poorly on DCPS (I live outside the area, but have friends and family here).  The other family members who work in public in other states couldn't believe it. A retired administrator basically said this family member should be fired!  Some people really have no shame.  FWIW, this person makes 6 figures.  There was no incentive for them to be a better teacher or have better outcomes for their students.

So they should look at people/teachers/admin/etc doing things like this.

This is news to me. Could you find the section of the contract that says 4?[/quote]
