[quote=Anonymous]From this post, I thought the Reddit post was going to be much worse.  It’s really only a min indictment of education for the kids who are not self motivated or with parents driving their education.   It’s the bigotry of soft expectations for kids from lower income families …. The system is not doing them any favors by just passing them along and letting them skip classes.  
I have a separate question about whether McPS is still a good place for the highly motivated advanced students.   I definitely have some criticisms but I think there’s still a fair argument that it surpasses other publics and many area privates, at least at the HS level.  The MS level is very patchy as there is no real advanced English or Science and the language teachers at the MS level are often pretty bad.

I do wish we could get SROs back and increase the security officer presence so we could increase hallway safety, including more female security offers so bathrooms could be more effectively policed.  We also need to pay subs more so teachers don’t have to cover classes during their planning periods, and bring back real discipline.

If I were on the MCEA negotiating committee, I would be proposing a financial bonus for any teacher whose assignment is changed less than 6 weeks before start of school year, and also propose that teachers have the right to request students be transferred out of their class if the student threatens physical violence against them or assaults them.  I would also definitely be grieving the crap out of any principal that makes the teachers do the attendance calls—that’s not their job.  When I see these posts I often wonder why teachers don’t get their reps to grieve some of this stuff.  Have you called your uniserve rep?  If no response, have you called the MCEA board members?
