MCEA didn’t help any of the teachers that were involuntarily transferred in April either. The school level union reps said there was no recourse for teachers that suffered from MCPS breaking the contract rules.

Sometimes you are the common denominator in the myriad issues.

I don't know the teacher coach on Twitter, but I saw his post on Twitter, and I'm not sure what you mean by your comment. That he is somehow to blame for why the 40 seniors in that program were cut? All to get rid of him? Seems far more likely that he got caught up in the maelstrom and was a casualty of that program getting cut. I agree with the PP. There are many, many different posters sounding the alarm and stating repeatedly that central office seems to be in chaos, but it seems to be only one or two voices replying "conspiracy theorist," "Karen moms," "MM stalker." Those are not defenses, those are attempts at deflection. Stick to the issues and explain how things are getting better, not worse. Trying to pin the complaints on a couple crazy detractors isn't helping your case. Try explaining why that program was cut. Why those seniors lost the ability to graduate from a school they've attended all through high school. How decisions to cut staff are made. Or don't respond at all, because the comments you add only add fuel to the fire and irritate people more. If you can't give a substantive response, you're better off ignoring a post than attacking people.

I know it's great that she's heading off the teacher shortage before it becomes a problem and also looking out for teachers by getting rid of a third rate insurance provider that almost nobody even takes these days.

Oh? If she's claiming she's "fixing the hiring problem", it sounds like a serious case of Hero Syndrome to me. In my view, it was her total incompetence and lack of attention to staffing issues last year when teachers were begging for help, the mishandling of the January covid fiasco, flipping the bird to the MCEA on two no confidence votes, that made teachers want to quit in the first place.

And I think you meant the Maryland IG is cleaning up the MCPS insurance issues? Unless you're saying she's taking credit for that as well?

If you think that’s why teachers are quitting you haven’t been paying attention. Further if McKnight is the reason, then why are districts all across the country experiencing the same problem??

Of course, McKnight has nothing to do with it, but these cranks have an agenda.

You're both right, but the McKnight Stalker is going to post these wacky conspiracies no matter what.

At this point I ignore them. It's not like anyone serious cares about their wacky conspiracy theories.

Monifa is exacerbating the teacher shortage by causing more dissatisfaction.

It's obvious MCPS is following some idiot lawyer's advice on how to screw teachers, since they're only contractors.

I have to point out the obvious. If a teacher is pissed off enough to walk knowing this, do you really think you can ever win them back? And knowing that, do you think that newly hired teachers won't get wind of how MCPS screws teachers they're replacing? Ever hear of Glassdoor? Twitter? Facebook?

This is why MCPS leadership needs to be completely flushed and a new replacement with brains goes knocking on doors, hat in hand to teachers that left and beg forgiveness. I'd also knock off involuntary transfers. MCPS leadership should attempt to make teachers happy so that it doesn't affect their classwork.

Does anyone have common sense anymore?

McKnight has EVERYTHING to do with it. She knew staffing was an issue but decided it was a good idea to "recruit" at her old school while picking up personal awards. She didn't listen last year to the MCEA for two no-confidence votes. She can't say she didn't know. She seemed to have the time to waste on discrimination surveys and making videos about her favorite cafeteria lunch.

How is it a "crank" when she's she's the one making all these bad judgement calls?
