Some MCPS teachers now spend their days with their cell phones in their hands. You bet they have time to tweet. It's the Starr public school system. It's all about twitter.
All this time on social media, but we can't figure out how to stop wasting money on paper time sheets. Every two weeks thousands of dollars are spent on having employees fill out paper time sheets that get stored in boxes in closets. Surrounding schools systems figured out how to save money and eliminate this paper waste decades ago, but not MCPS. Our big innovation is tweeting administrators.
As a parent I appreciate students became uncomfortable with Dr. Jones following them on Twitter. The point I have made to my children continually is that all of their social media communications may or will be viewed by adults, who will make decisions about their future. Parents do not want their student tweeting anything that would give pause to Dr. Jones or them. Dr. Jones did not enter their conversations. She let them know, in plain view, their twitter lives are merged with their real lives. I monitor my children. However, I appreciate the help of other adults who see their posts.
time to tweet??
