6 more months and we are done with MCPS!!!!

I am so excited and my child can't wait!
No more dodging fights in the hallway.
No more dodging crazy parents in the student parking lot.
No more weekly fluff updates from an out-of-touch, weak principal.
No more trips back at home at lunch to use the bathroom because the school bathrooms are full of obnoxious weed smokers.
No more equity being shoved down our throats.
No more tutoring to learn the basics.
No more unruly scary kids to avoid in the classrooms.
And so much more!
If we had the money, we would have moved years ago but like many of us...we are trapped in east County hell.
Yes - I am looking forward to the door hitting us on the back as we walk out forever on graduation day!
After yet another scary incident that happened today and was ignored, I just have to remember that it will be over soon.

My kid went to a great high school, with a wonderful Principal, but we were counting the days too. He has special needs and high school was just really tough, but also I think it's just the reality of being a senior.

Hang in there, OP and family!

I'm counting down too... feel the same way. Our principal is a joke.

Blake High School
Some great teachers but leadership and non teaching staff clueless, lazy and dysfunctional. It is a literal zoo in that place.

Incidents:
Kids disrupting classroom instruction
Kids taking over and smoking in the bathroom
Self entitled kids that create uncomfortable environments
Fights practically every day
Kids who don't belong in AP classes are allowed and then they either cheat off my kid, threaten my kid to get homework answers and slowdown instruction
No leadership at all
Teachers hands are tied and it is sad to see them take all of this abuse
Teachers not qualified to teach certain classes but no one else stepping up so we have a history teacher teach calculus
Self entitled downright scary parents who feel they don't have to abide by the rules

Is that enough?? Because I got more. I challenged McKnight and now Taylor to make an unannounced visit one day but no one can be nothered

Bathroom thing is for real at so many schools. Until someone sues mcps...

I predict that you will be an active voice on your kid's university parent facebook face. Those are full of parents complaining about all sundry of places where the university doesn't live up to their expectations.

I think you’re describing most MCPS HS unfortunately.

My kid is in her first year of college and loves it compared to her MCPS high school. She’s a little tired of the stupid protests but the rest of it has been great.

Yeah because everything listed has been so normalized that we are just willing to accept mediocrity
