[quote=Anonymous]I’m so conflicted, after 15 years in McPS (3 more to go).

The demographics of the county has changed a ton over the last 20-30 years and I don’t think the school board really knows how to handle that.  They seem to really want a one size fits all solution which is doomed to fail and not fit anyone correctly.

There’s a national teaching crisis (like the national law enforcement crisis) with not enough people going into the field.  Boomers all retired during the pandemic and Gen X is checking out now.

Ai is having a massive impact that no one knows how to deal with.  Not just the kids using it, but also the teachers.  My kids say so many teachers are now using AI to grade.  I feel bad they don’t have more grading time.  I actually would support something like having the kids in HS humanities classes spend 1 or even 2 days a week watching stuff like Len burns documentaries to allow the teachers time to provide actual feedback on written work.  Or maybe 1 day a week doing something like that and one day a week with dedicated in class writing time so that the teachers have a solid 90 minutes in addition to their planning period to grade papers in a way that actually helps kids learn to think critically and write.

Real solutions would require at least 50% more teachers plus double the security staff … I’m not sure anyone would want to pay for that.
