We are teaching kids to be disrespectful lackluster turds. Meanwhile new teachers have to deal with this disrespect tithe point of violence in the classroom and pressured to inflate grades to the point of fraud. I remember the classroom mantra mcps to get the kids motivated was to stay " just write your name at the top of the paper for your 50%. Then kds would test the system and not even do that. Then that turned into not even showing up and demanding 50% from the teacher. Then the end of the semester comes and the principal wants to know what we can do to make them pass and it is implied that the teacher will be punished if they don't find a way of making up numbers. Why do we keep lowering standards and punishing teachers and punishing the good kids who want to learn. Then teachers are fired bc they know too much about the fraud that they were forced to do under threat if being fired. It's no wonder there are no more teachers.

There are a handful of us here. Mostly southern Howard county (the northern part of the county is more of a Baltimore suburb, so less likely to find this forum). But there are a fewof people who live in North Laurel, Fulton, western Howard County and South Columbia.
