[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Working for DCPS is no more stressful than an average urban school district of similar demographics, characteristics, etc.[/b] And that means--not particularly easy unless you've either got what it takes or are a good learner. And a lot of folks don't fit this bill. A few other soapbox opinions: TFAers are generally worthless, people's pipe-dreams for a gifted program in the same manner as they have in Fairfax or Montgomery County is not going to happen and is simply a sociology experiment to help well-to-do kids not have to be surrounded by "the masses".

Most teachers in DC have 4 or 5 unannounced observations per year. This means that at any time, on any day an administrator or a "master educator" can walk into a classroom and say they are there to observe the teacher for 30 minutes. I do not know of any other district that has this type of observation policy. It is extremely stressful, particularly in schools with very challenging behaviors. [/quote] +1[/quote]
