What happens when teachers are unhappy with the school climate and they are attacked or watch coworkers attacked. Teachers quit in droves.

I'm a relatively new teacher, but please don't quit. Find a different school among the 100+ out there in our county.  I've worked at several schools in a variety of roles and at my second one they taunted me stating that if I file a bullying complaint--no one will care! Yes, they attacked me every time I raised an issue that either affected student learning or professionalism between staff.  I just switched to survival mode for a few months and got outta there as soon as I could (literally to the hour).  Subsequently, I found a much better school.

There are some amazing schools in MCPS that truly have a positive work climate.  You'll find that school--just get an involuntary transfer and don't look back!

DP.  You're new, so maybe you didn't read the full statements?  McKnight is the Interim Superintendent of Schools.

This corporate culture of attacking families instead of collaborating with families has expanded [b]under Dr. McKnight[/b]. These actions by MCPS are at a time many students have gaps and needs because of the inadequacy of six quarters of online learning.

Teachers have the same complaints of retaliation [b]under Dr. McKnight[/b]. What happens when teachers are unhappy with the school climate and they are attacked or watch coworkers attacked. Teachers quit in droves. [/quote]

Where can the teachers go within MCPS if it's all under McKnight?

I'm a relatively new teacher, but also in my forties with a teenager in MCPS. I'm fully aware of who McKnight is and her current role in MCPS.  My point is to encourage teachers to research different schools and principals.  McKnight is not a huge stormcloud hanging over MCPS--it is more so at a micro/per school level.
