[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]School systems like Carroll County are losing teachers to other counties because the pay is not competitive.[/quote] There has never been any data shown that MCPS is losing teachers from pay. There is anecdotal data that young teachers are dropping out because of the testing and curriculum constraints that have gone crazy. There is anecdotal data that teachers drop out because of burn out ….wait for it… from large class sizes and increased demands of standardized testing. MCPS teachers are among the best compensated teachers in the country. [/quote] I'm the PP and I actually completely agree with you. I'm just pointing out that teacher pay does affect where the teachers go. MCPS pays well compared with other school systems, so they seem to be able to retain teachers unlike other school systems. I just wouldn't want to survive on their salary. [/quote]
