[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To PP, some of that comparison with other countries is unfair because other countries provide social services through other agencies that the US provides through its school so the cost of schooling looks higher.

I agree that central office needs to stop coming up with dumb initiatives for teachers and let the teachers teach.

But there is a bit National problem of teacher shortages.  A good friend runs a small private school in another state.  He had two young teachers quit mid year leaving him totally in the lurch, basically because they just weren’t feeling it.  I have a relative who got a teaching masters but has never taught because decided she only wants remote work with a flexible schedule.  It’s making life impossible for the senior teachers who have to have fill gaps with the inadequate staffing. I don’t really know what the solution is for this.  [/quote]
Schools in all school districts in this country are not social service agencies. That was a choice Montgomery County made. [/quote]

And other school districts that decided it was better for the schools to provide the social services than for nobody to provide the social services.

The county has tons of social services.  [/quote]

Yes, the county does provide some social services. And other social services are provided by MCPS.[/quote]
