Sam Adams says
Reynolds used to sit in her car at BAMS to smoke on school property.
False says
As a long time employee of Bel air middle I know that to be 100% false. Never did she ever smoke on school property! Get your facts straight.
George A. says
I was at a cook-out recently where a proclaimed teacher mentioned receiving large cash tips at their evening part time job in exchange of scholatic support.
Sam Adams says
Seen her do it, multiple times, I’ll trust my eyes thank you very much.
TotalBS says
Yeah we should believe you. That woman has done more for the children of harford county than almost anyone. Fortunately for all of us you are a nobody and the only harm you do is trolling away on the dagger with your girlfriend Caitlyn (soulcrusher) Jenner
George A. says
But, what should I do about what I know?
This person said they “pay off” their immediate supervisor too and claimed they had been a family friend for over 3 decades.
Is this a law enforcement concern or human resource? I have more specific information in what I was told.
Really? says
George A- What exactly is “scholatic support?” How can you give someone “scholatic support?” What is the going rate for “scholatic support?” I guess you could take your hearsay claims to human resources and allow them to waste a great deal of time on your extremely valid cookout conversations. Did you duck down behind the grill as you shared these secrets of HCPS? Did the family friend confide in you over s’mores? Bust it wide open, George. Sounds solid to me!
George A. says
Scholastic support.
What makes you think HCPS? ASSumptiom?
I’m already on the right track.
Really? says
Yeah, you’re right and I’m wrong. I can’t read.
The Money Tree says
George is a bonerfied moron. He knows nothing legitimate about anything that anyone cares about.
LOL says
Right, because out of the thousands of HCPS employees (for example) all of them are the best people in the world.
The Money Tree says
Please imposter Money Tree if you’re going to communicate like a 14 year old please find your own “name” to use on this site.
Belch says
Check it, 5 open vacancies for trade teachers at Harford Tech.
What is it? 17 trades they got there? That’s almost 1/3.
Veteran teachers retire and they realize they can’t find anyone worth a damm at their pay rate, only people who just want a job to add to an existing pension. LOL
Amy Lindecamp says
Belch,
Hopefully the new board members will care enough to seek solutions for HCPS issues, instead of denying the issues exist, and retaliating against those that attempt to resolve the issues. Hopefully the new members will sincerely listen to the teachers, students, parents, and community members, not dismiss them, especially during public comment at board meetings. I know that is a volume of hoping, but hope is all we have right now.
Check this article out….https://andreasarsfield.wordpress.com/2015/07/14/my-teaching-exit-survey/. It might shed some light on why so many teachers are leaving HCPS.
Hates HCPS says
They don’t care. All they need are asses to fill seats.
First and foremost, it should be OBVIOUS when our government got into education “business” to begin with how FUKED up it would become.
All kinds of people are in positions they shouldn’t be in the “higher ups” and are just attempting to survive until they retire and avoid the day that there just ain’t enough applicants flowing into HCPS HR to replace the revolving door of high turnover.
STANLEY says
YO, some1 tell me why so many ppl STANK at them Education meetings? Y’all can’t take a bath?
Smell like a waffle house up in there.
