Do you think the best teachers are picked at MCPS?  lol

I am glad you like it better here but for people that have been here for years the system is failing. Like another OP said. Joyless. I will add robotic, lackluster, straight narrow line. The fact that public school teachers can't just think outside of the box sucks. We came from a small district in NC where PE was daily, parents were involved, each class had a website with updates, PTA was strong and teachers sende more interested. My daughters last teacher would bring blankets on nice days and they would do reading groups/free reading outside. Math games on the blacktop, times table four square, etc...  Not all on the same day but spread out. They don't seem to ever take the kids away from the desk. I hope I am more impressed with high school. [/quote]

Please understand that most teachers would love to do the things you've listed above but we answer to a higher power and my principal would have none of the above.  Our school has no PTA and our playground was burned to the ground the week before school started.  I doubt it will ever be rebuilt so the classes have to rotate recess on the blacktop.  We had recess 1-2 times per week last year and we weren't allowed to take the kids for walks around the school (I tried).  If you don't like something, stop blaming the teachers.  They are probably just as frustrated as you are.[/quote]
