A standing ovation for Dr. McKnight

[Anonymous]

She is incompetent at her job.

I want schools to be open and kids are going, but that does not stop me to see how incompetent she has been in the last few weeks.

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.

+ 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!

+1. Thank you for keeping schools open.

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.

So it’s not for the disadvantaged students who suffered more than you in DL that you are cheering for McKnight, correct? I just want to get that straight.

This thread is a joke! The same person is posting the entire day in this forum in support of MCPS leadership. Ridiculous.

You really think there is only 1 person who feels this way?

Are you same the person who said Jeff is a shill for MCPS?

Thank you Dr McKnight for following the science and having balls unlike your predecessor.

I can say that the principal, teachers, and staff at my DC’s school are working hard. I wouldn’t say the same for Central Office. They are completely incompetent.

As of today, PG schools are still returning to in-person instruction on Tuesday, and yet people are still crowing about MCPS being open.

The ship has sailed.

She had made a big mess of this entire situation. No need to have any transparency, no need to have any process or worse keep changing the goalpost, and pat yourself on back for doing the job well, lol.

All plans seem to be let's infect all families. My kids already got covid earlier and attended in person as well, but I was shocked by the way the whole thing unfolded for many families here.

Many had no issue during this huge surge due to already getting it earlier or being comfortable with the vaccine protection. But many families had genuine issues, but she forced everyone to get covid.
