[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS had 93 unfilled full time teacher positions and 19 unfilled special ed positions as of Wednesday. Everybody demanding smaller class sizes and more funding—they can’t find people to fill the positions they already have! Forget adding new ones. [/quote]

That's really disturbing. In fact, I would call it a crisis. As such, is there a plan to recruit high quality professionals to change careers with a fast-track certification plan? [/quote]

As a teacher in another MD district, I don't think this would be a good use of funds. Many (and I'd love to know what the % is) teachers who go through these programs don't last very long. They need to make teaching a more attractive option for college students. Maybe they could start with the current teachers they have now. I wouldn't let my kids go into teaching the way it exists now. [/quote]

Agree.  Make teaching a more attractive option.  Right now, it sucks!  At least MCPS offers decent pay and benefits.  But the classroom environment and lack of autonomy make it less attractive.  [/quote]
