A standing ovation for Dr. McKnight

[Anonymous]

Cases coming down in MoCo already. MoCo hospitals well under critical levels. only 29 bus routes affected as of today.

Leading isn't easy, especially in times of crisis. But she held strong in the face of parents who ignored science, numbers and the well being of our children.

School remained open, continues to be open, and our children are learning in person. Well done Dr. McKnight. Count me in the camp of hoping she gets the job full time.

And for when this debate inevitably happens again (whether it be the spring, fall or winter)...this is now the 2nd time the county has been right to keep schools open (see Fall 2021 "Delta" wave). Schools stay open, debate is over.

Also, a big kudos to the principals in MoCo who lead each of their respective schools through the wave as well. Deserve as much credit as Dr. McKnight.

You must be her daughter. She’s tone deaf and has does an extremely poor job leading.

She, Erlich, Hogan and Biden are the American embarrassment.

Sarcasm...


...right?


MCPS does not control the Omicron wave, and certainly did nothing to mitigate hospital saturation or avoid viral spread. Instead, we had chaos and continue to have chaos. We should have done a 2 week pivot to virtual after the Holiday break (all live instruction, etc).


MCPS will ride out the Omicron wave without system-wide closures and will pat themselves on the back, when they're incompetent idiots.

Wrong PP

Schools are open. Students may attend if they wish and simply need to wear a mask

Teachers per recent stats have been present save for this past week and an occasional miss.

But yes, let us all shut down because a small but vocal minority of parents want everyone to wait while they get comfortable with numbers.

Nope, not again, not another long shutdown that hurts the mental well-being of students.

There are many things we can gripe about re MCPS, but I am quite alright with school staying open. We can't shut down because a few people want things closed. Should they communicate and report better than they have? Absolutely. But no more shutdowns.

+ 1 MILLION!! Yeah for following science and steadfast resolve! So happy she didn’t cave to anxiety and fear.

We have reached the peak and pushed through it. Sure it was bumpy and ugly but this is what “we are in this together” looks like.
Brava McKnight!

+2. Was it perfect? No, far from it. But if DCUM is a taste of the hysteria she had to deal with, than kudos to her for standing firm.

Yes!

I am regularly on here critical of MCPS. But about this, I think they’re doing fine. And I think McKnight - who was left a mess by Jack Smith, and took over in the middle of an incredibly chaotic situation - is doing a good job.

Can you please just admit that you think she’s doing a good job because she’s made decisions that you agree with and that benefit your particular situation? It’s really not that hard to be honest on an anonymous forum.

[Anonymous]

Didn’t 94% of teachers in union vote No Confidence i her? That is a 6% Rotten Tomatoes score. Not good. Very very bad.

I mean, I think that’s pretty obvious, no?
Just like you cheered when Jack kept schools closed longer then needed “out of an abundance of caution” for his grandson in Maine.

Schools are for educating students, not a jobs program. The 94% of you can pound sand.
