[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Short answer: No. It is very hard to fire a teacher.

[b]Long answer: the problem is administration. Weast pushed out the good administrators and "recruited" a bunch of "Yes-men" who would do whatever WEAST wanted (and Weast was a total moron). So what you have right now is a bunch of weak, spineless "leaders" in MCPS who cannot run a school or student body, and just spend their time out of the building at meetings, "trainings", checking in with their principal mentors and being totally oblivious to what is actually going on in their schools.[/b]

I am a teacher and I hate it. I see the teachers around me who are terrible at their job and should be kicked out, but the paper trail has to be long (talking years) and almost always the union protects these idiots.

I say - no tenure, no union. Period. I don't think we go to a merit pay system, but I think we find better ways to evaluate teachers. Bottom line, ask any teacher or student in a school who the worst three teachers in the building are, and they will all have pretty much the same answer. It is sad.[/quote]v

Teacher here. +1.  Our principal is almost never in the building but the building runs more efficiently that way so it's fine. But then they decide the focus of the school next year should be based on whatever Kool Aid they've been given in their 90 zillion meetings and trainings which entirely contradicts THIS year's focus, but you all had better be on board so just forget that what we've been doing has been working because somebody whose job exists solely to create and recreate acronyms and hasn't been in the classroom for 20 years says so.  Please come to your next team meeting with dynamic  ways to make this happen so that I (the principal) can sit at my next principals meeting and receive accolades for being a good little puppet.

I love teaching and I care deeply about my students but I'm nearing the end of my rope and I'm only on year 9. [/quote]
