Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS)
Clearly she doesn't want to be there and they have 2 options. Either way she's gone which is good for everyone. |
m She doesn’t need tutoring. She needs to be held accountable for attending class. Public education in this country is doing downhill fast. |
| It's not clear to me why OP is all up in this one random student's business. |
Because the girl put it out for the world to consume on TikTok??? How is OP the problem and not the student who is bragging publicly and openly on the internet about how much school she got away with skipping? |
|
This is not new. Several years ago my cousin’s son missed most of his junior and senior year and still graduated. It was unbelievable. The bar is at the floor.
Every time this happens an MCPS degree gets devalued just a little bit more. |
This is true. And yet, MCPS does not seem to see the watering down of its standards in this way. It's maddening. |
Are you familiar with social media? There are over 150 million active TikTok users just in the US. Why is the OP posting about one random student? |
Seriously. You are asking me if I'm familiar with social media and yet you have the expectation of privacy and are complaining about a post that an MCPS students posted on TikTok, which is GOING VIRAL if you look at the likes and the comments and generating LOTS of conversation, and yet you're complaining that OP brought it to a forum on MCPS as if they did something wrong or went through extraordinary lengths to unearth this information. Are you ok? |
Some people just want to bury their head in the sand and pretend everything is OK and give excuses after excuses for what’s happening in the school system. |
Oh, well, if it's a TikTok that is GOING VIRAL, then...Nope. I still don't understand the focus on one individual high school senior. |
Pp again, can you link to the video I have not seen it. |
It's one of the many things the sate is doing to help close the achievement gap from the top down by eliminating standards and requirements. |
Jeff removed the links. Not sure why, since the girl wants to be famous for skipping on TikTok. |
Because her behavior is a symptom of a broader systemic problem that we've discussed a lot on this very forum? Chronic absenteeism and the failure of MCPS to enforce its attendance policies? |
I don’t use tictok so it’s not something I would run across unless I read it in a forum. |
