Look... give me a RESOLUTION to the increasing MADNESS and I will shutup!

Also, again... let me introduce myself...

I am no newbie to DCPS.
I do think I have a valid point... and its not ment to please, but raise wonder...

I am a 31 year old mother of 3 in DCPS and I am an ECE teacher in a NW school.

I have a mother who was a teacher for 35 + years in DCPS and she was at more than 10 schools - all elelmentary. 5 of her DCPS years were served as a Content Specialist. She wrote the first set of standards MANDATORILY USED in schools for the Music departments ALL GRADES!

My father was a DCPD Officer Friendly in 8 different schools on all levels from PS-12th grade levels.

I attended 4 DCPS schools and I have worked at 8 different schools (2 were summer school sites)-PS-12 grade levels. I have also worked at 825 as an admin asst. during the summer of my second year of being a teacher.

My husband worked at 3 schools elem and jhs levels. He attended 3.

My son is in daycare and will be in DCPS next year, and my daughters (who have always attended different schools) have been in a total of 4different DCPS schools.

Not to mention the friends and family I have working in DCPS as well.

At this point in time folks, I have been in almost over 50 different school buildings witnessing all types of different groups of teachers and administrators. It was on both ends on why the children are failing....and EVERYTIME I witnessed it it was because of a Principal who lacked their Administrator skills or a teacher that lacked Educator skills... not to mention People or "Little People" skills.

I DO NOT AGREE that all responsibility should be left on the Principals... BUT something has to be done!!!

SOMETHING!!!

Me, my mom, my dad, my husband ALL want better than we had, which was not as bad as now I don't think... in our years attending and working for DCPS before the late 90's to the present...

We want this for my daughters and son... if I could afford private... I would! That's where my parents sent me the first half of grade school... on a teacher and police salary...but not anymore... not with 3 kids either...

If you can relate...think about it, if not... don't bother...please and thank you!

Excuse me for being so passionate for my own kids and other children as well...

The End
