[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are not crazy as others have complaints too. But you need to email the principal. Nothing posted here will help fix this.[/quote]

DP.  Agree.

Also: do not bother at all with contacting anyone on the school board.  They absolutely hate TJ and would abolish it if they could get away with it.

They are also useless at addressing serious problems with under-performing teachers at any FCPS school; if they were to intervene they would probably defer to the teachers’ unions/associations and try to keep poor-performing teachers in their jobs.[/quote]

People complaining on this thread and also over in the private school forum are seriously underestimating how few great teachers there are in the country and how hard it is to find these amazing teachers they expect everywhere.

Exactly. And these posters also fail to realize what it takes to be a great teacher. It’s so much more than content knowledge. You need to be an engaging presenter, motivator, and coach. You need data analysis abilities as well as extreme organizational skills. You need a strong work ethic and a reasoned, seasoned approach to literally every aspect of your job. Heck, a strong teacher is the type of person who could breeze to success at any job.

And we treat teachers like crud, including these strong ones. I guess we should add “strength of steel” to that list. [/quote]
