[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is the challenge of school districts here. That is why they can't find great teachers. It's why we are leaving.

Personally, I feel for you as someone who changed careers three times in 25 years.  It's probably time for you to go.

However, can we now simply move to cognitive science based, direct instruction method with a high quality curriculum?  Let's stop paying ridiculous pensions and healthcare (90% of a 2.7 billion dollar budget in MCPS goes to you and your colleagues while my kids elementary school was literally a health hazard.)

Frankly my kid improved his reading by a year at Lindamood-Bell with their curriculum, direct instruction and a kid just out of college getting paid 15 bucks an hour (who had two weeks of training - I asked)

MCPS couldn't do it for 2.7 billion (Half of fourth graders in the County read below grade level)  LMB did it in 6 weeks.  Please: let us give up this notion that somehow this 'artisan' method of teaching is helping the majority of our students. It's just day care at this point.

How many kids were in the LMB class?[/quote]
