What don't you like about working at Miami-Dade County Public Schools?

"There is no climbing the ladder in the school system. You are either a teacher or an administrator. Constantly proving that you are a good teacher is ridiculous. In order for you to get help for a student, you have to jump through a zillion hoops before anything actually happens. You work your butt off & there are teachers that take advantage of the system & don't do what they are suppose to & you wind up getting reprimanded. Parents either like you or hate you, no happy medium. They come with a chip on their shoulder or agree with everything you say and do nothing to help their child. VERY frustrated!!"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would get rid of grading schools. I would change the FCAT testing. I would not put the sole purpose of a student failing on the shoulders of the teacher."
