[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BOE could do many things. Starting with eliminating ridiculous excess central office positions....hire full-time building subs, with benefits, at the step and rate the teacher would be hired as a regular classroom teacher. There are way too many positions that are useless in this district and important positions remain unfilled because working conditions, wages are stagnant, lack of benefits for support conditions, etc...etc... MCPS is a sinking ship. I know so many people changing districts next year. Many are taking pay cuts just to get the hell out of MCPS-things are that bad right now.[/quote]

OMG OMG the sky is falling! What shall we do?[/quote]

Do you really not think that kids and teachers feeling safe in schools is a priority? Talk to teachers- and not just at the W feeder schools. Try to understand what schools are like. Then report back.[/quote]

My kids feel safe. One told me they once saw a kid vape but this doesn't really concern them.[/quote]

Good for your kids? MCPS isn't created equally. Every building has its own set of unique problems. I'm glad you're in a mythical place where nothing goes wrong and you think if it doesnt happen to you or affect you personally then it must not happen everywhere, but the rest of us live in reality. We aren't 5 year old children living in fantasy worlds. Try and do better because right now, you're a huge part of the problem.[/quote]

I agree that the PP is a big part of the problem- those people (and even teachers) who don’t see what is going on beyond their one neighborhood. At the BOE meeting on Thursday, there were a few children who did video testimony about wanting a 3rd teacher for 3rd grade next year because they didn’t get enough attention or enrichment with 27 kids. No mention of any other concerns. The students are Wayside and all I could think was that the majority of that class must be on grade level. And how ridiculous it was that they were testifying when there are 5th grade classes well above 30 where 95% of the class is below grade level and many with traumatic pasts. If I didn’t know what was really going on in the majority of the county, I would agree with the kids. But knowing about the majority of schools and then listening to their testimony just made my blood boil. Do those kids want smaller classes. Yes. But the issues are so much bigger.[/quote]
