This is why I got out. It's relentless.

Amen! Not sure which coworker you are but this is the worst part. He is gone but the toxic culture in the building or in CO is not.


So nothing is likely to change under Felder?

Or being a teacher negatively impacted by his decisions when he was principal. He was able to transfer or block whoever he wanted without any support from MCPS or the union. He made up his own rules and others were hurt. Not just the ones he sexually harassed.

Worst: admin who forgot what it was like to be on the ground teaching. They would not stand a quarter if asked to teach a class or 150 students.

Ok, Smpotatoes. Upvoting yourself is pathetic (so right up your alley)


What makes you think this person upvoted themselves. I think most teachers share this sentiment.


Yeah right. It’s what the “outraged” crazy MCPS twitter parents what others to believe because that’s what they believe. Teachers have much bigger issues to worry/complain about. Nice try.


BINGO!

You don’t have a clue what teachers think.


Lol 20 years experience and mentioning this comment to a roomful of teachers who agreed with me but yeah, I don’t have a “clue”. Good one though.

DEI trainings and student lessons that are painful to get through. It's so naive to think that mandatory lessons are going to make students be nice to each other. Just hold students accountable for their poor choices, dole out discipline, and move on. Most students require negative reinforcement to correct unwanted behaviors.
How much money is spent for staffing for these hollow positions that do not move the needle one iota?
