[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone explain why schools with more colored or poor students are labeled low quality?  Is the quality measured by test score? Does MCPS assign less qualified teachers the these schools?  Does MCPS assign ineffective principles and admins to magnge the schools?  Do the low quality schools have worse facilities?  [/quote]

A lot of factors are taken into consideration.  Graduation rate, test scores, experience of teachers, etc.  [b]The problem is that experienced and good teachers are all at the "good" schools...mainly because they would never take a job at the other schools[/b].

I think the biggest problem is absenteeism.  The rate at those schools are ridiculously high...hence the low graduation rate and high dropout rate.[/quote]

This is a lie.

I've spent the bulk of my career in challenging schools. This is the first year I've experienced a so-called "good" school.  I am not impressed by my colleagues at all.  The BEST teachers can handle all kids - from those in gangs to kids earning impressive scores on AP and IB exams. Those teachers don't coast. They work, and they know how to plan.

Please don't ASSume that all the best are at the "good" schools.  I can out plan all of my colleagues, but they REFUSE to listen to any advice I share, thinking their way is the best way.

the REAL problem?  Moving kids from A to B takes time - much more time and emotional/mental effort in challenging schools.  But a move from A to B means little to the county, as the county wants a move from A to G.   This is why good teachers burn out.  I've seen some of the best leave before year five. But even more painful is watching a year 15 move out. Each year, I watch experienced, talented teachers - those who make wonderful mentors - just walk out.

I'm so tired of people like you who talk out of their a**es.  Please don't post lies.[/quote]

Thank you for your dedication and service. [/quote]
