[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to love my job but increasingly each year MCPS is changing things so that I hate it. It is soul sucking and I can't wait to leave. It's not the kids. It's not the actual job. It's the paperwork, the politics, feeling powerless. Surveys to ask my opinion on what I want changed but then nothing gets changed from what the teachers want. [b]Having to pay for the water coolers, [/b]having to sign into staff meetings for attendance. Software that doesn't work or is glitchy.

On the plus side, MCPS is finally getting an online payroll system so I no longer will have to fill out a paper timesheet or leave slip[/quote]

I will add having to buy our own copy paper to this list. WHY IS THERE NO PAPER AVAILABLE IN OUR BUILDING? I teach two classes of students, so every time I need to copy anything I use 50 pieces of paper. This is ridiculous. We never received pencils from our MCPS warehouse order this year (or last year). Now I’m buying pencils for my students as well. [/quote]

Every PTA should investigate the supplies that have disappeared from schools. Then they should go to budget hearings and hold up signs saying supply pencil and paper for students for your school. Teachers don't make enough money to continually supply paper and pencils for students.

I worked in PGCPS, and we had to buy pencils. I took to purchasing  short pencils (for golfers) and I managed to hold onto them. Otherwise, the students take them.[/quote]
