Sad comment on condition of schooling in montgomery county

It's not a comment on the condition of schooling, it's a comment on the lack of large auditoriums or arenas in Montgomery County.

We'd be hard-pressed to have any place as grand as Constitution Hall. I feel seriously lucky that's an option.

On Wednesday, Harris told me that her concern lies more with the possibility that there may be only a small pool of candidates to choose from rather than with problems with the district’s reputation.

“I don’t think there are people out there in the world that are not going to want to look at MCPS and say, ‘Oh, that's a train wreck. I don’t want to go there,’ ” Harris said. “I just think that is a false narrative. But I think the truth is we’re in a place where the timing is less than ideal.”

All I know is if I were a superintendent and show the mess that MCPS has been and how it has cycled through numerous superintendents over the last decade, I would be running in the other direction. But Lynne thinks everything is good.

Harris is correct that this is mostly a false narrative embraced by the hyper-privileged fringe. If you make the effort to look more closely, you'll see that test scores by similar SES brackets has remained the same or gone up. The difference is the county's demographic mix is different than 20 years ago.

Kids are being indoctrinated with left wing politics in MCPS now. So there's that.

They're being given crazy ideas like equality and kindness. It's so left wing!

And crazy ideas like a zero for no work equals 50 % and "hey kids start a fight club admin will make up stories that the teachers are incompetent at teaching and classroom management".

DEI does nothing but promote systemic racism and as a result, merely upholds it rather than eliminate it. It's a great irony that most are unable to see. But this poster gets it.

Yeah, supporting small-time family farms barely eeking out financial subsistence in order to ensure a reasonably stable national food supply in an era of scarcity definitely is the same as preserving profit margins for larger, independently stable farming concerns in an era of plenty.
