[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spoke with one the other day. She was so impressed by MCPS and thought it was AMAZING!![/quote]

That's great and I hope she learns a lot from her visit, but she shouldn't be displacing primary staff. [/quote]

No one displacing primary staff.  MCPS cannot fill these positions lovally or even nationally, because no one wants them.  Please read that last sentence again.  They are bringing in teachers from overseas because no one here wants these jobs that many here are so great because: 10 month job, great pension, etc

It's BS.  No one wants to teach here for many reasons, including crappy pay, bad administrators, delusional central office, and much more, but the worst are our kids today.  They have no attention spans, no interest in learning, don't behave, and their parents make it worse [/quote]

They are displacing primary staff, because MCPS is relying on them in solving the staffing problem. [/quote]

With severe staffing shortages due to higher immigration, teacher resignations/retirements, as well as competition with more lucrative/less stressful professions, US school systems will continue to hire from from English-speaking countries like the Philippines. It really is as simple as that. [/quote]

+1  Be grateful that MCPS is actually able to get qualified professional teachers to support special needs kids rather than having those positions vacant and the most vulnerable kids in the school system without instructors.[/quote]

Loudoun did this several decades ago and it was a disaster for my family. The woman who became my kid's case manager was impossible to deal with. She refused to ever leave messages on the phone because she believed it was wrong for me, the mom, not to be home. It was impossible to set up meetings or communicate because she wouldn't do the simplest things to facilitate communication. She mostly lectured me about not being home. We only spoke two times and she never discussed my kid or anything IEP related.  Her English was so bad, she couldn't communicate well and she mostly wanted to question me about why I wasn't home. When it became clear that she didn't understand anything about the process and wasn't scheduling an IEP meeting I complained and she was removed. I think they discontinued the program pretty quickly and I never met another parent with one of these "teachers". I think whoever supported this in the Phillipines exaggerated the teachers skills.
