[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please the reverse is true. MCPS is pressuring teachers to pass students who barely came to class. They can show up for a day of bogus "credit recovery" and boom, that E is now a passing grade. [/quote]

So MCPS is no better than PG County Public Schools.

Teachers should use their Union Reps to bring this problem officially to light. This should be reported to the media.[/quote]

The union knows because I reported it in 2012 with documentation. It’s why the admin at that school turned against me and I was singled out for the worst duties and class schedules. I finally just transferred. [/quote]

This. There is no such thing as confidential discussions with the union. They will share with your admin and you will be targeted and punished. Ask me how I know. [/quote]

Then why pay dues to the Union if they aren't protecting you from retaliation?  Contact the media yourself and give them the specifics if they protect your identity.  There is a HUGE problem if teachers are saying they are being encouraged or forced to do unethical things by administrators.  An MCPS diploma is a worthless piece of paper if a student didn't do the work or have the skills the diploma is supposed to represent.[/quote]

This isn’t the only thing the union does so, yeah, I continued paying dues. [/quote]

At least now you'll have a choice! :)[/quote]

I’m sure there will be a lot of [b]freeloaders[/b] benefitting from the collective bargaining on salary and benefits, but my momma raised me better than that.[/quote]

My momma raised me with the belief that you have lost an argument the moment you stoop to calling people names.  [/quote]

Names?[/quote]

Calling people freeloaders just because they exercise their freedom of choice is calling them a name.  For example you can say "people who don't join the union" and have a more adult argument.[/quote]
