[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the mom who has tons of credits in Math.  I feel I can teach if I want to because I have tutored my kids (and their friends) for years now in almost all subjects from K-12 (except French).  I am actually pretty good in teaching kids who find Math hard. Lets see. [/quote]

So do it! But know that working in a classroom of 30 kids of varying levels of math and behavior is very different than 1-1 or a small group.[/quote]

I also have lots of math credits, tutored undergrads and help my HS DD with math, but I know I can’t teach a class of 20 kids. Teaching is so much more than having knowledge of the subject matter. Classroom management, delivery the information to so different students with different learning styles understand etc. is no joke. I can be a warm body but actually teaching, no thanks. [/quote]

Is MCPS managed the amount of children in a classroom and actually disciplined students so they don’t disrupt the classes -they may actually have more people willing to do the job.[/quote]

MCPS can only manage the amount of kids in a classroom to the level of the amount of space they have and teachers available.  They don’t have the luxury of just deciding they only want a certain amount of kids at a given school.  Sure discipline could be improved, but behavior starts at home.  Some of your neighbor’s kids are actually obnoxious when not in their parents presence(some when in their presence).  And added bonus, MCPS can’t just kick out every kid who doesn’t have model behavior, nor can they just move them to a separate classroom.  Nor can they just schedule special needs services without documentation and plans because these things cost money.[/quote]

If you’re not going to fix the problem that don’t complain about the problem[/quote]
