This blog has been a great help to me this past year, which was the worst in my career. The LCPS has been so utterly mismanaged that there is nothing left of the district, and the people downtown continue to fool themselves into thinking they know what they're doing. To be honest, we have to put a stop to all of this nonsense that's going on. Now with Rounds wanting to suspend all range salary movement, it's too much. We need to make our voices be heard. We have strength in numbers, and this district obviously couldn't function without its teachers (although it CAN and DOES without management and competency at central office). I know the NEA doesn't allow strikes, but who cares about the NEA, they haven't done anything for the teachers in Las Cruces, we need to end this, I've had it.

This is in response to the complaints about a lack of penmanship. I am the parent of two children who have benefited from attending LCPS. Both display neat penmanship, mastery of cursive writing, strong reading and math skills. Both children have learned from teachers that work hard, take a sincere interest in their development as students and people. There are teachers who enjoy what they do and do it well without whining and complaining.
