This was originally posted in a different forum and moved to the MCPS forum. The other forum was much broader so no surprise people in that forum were not all familiar with B-CC.

Isn’t DCUM filled with trolls already? Looks like you’ll be the one to ask yourself.

People need to be careful of what they ask for as they just might get it. Amd then then they will soon find out that there are few to no good up and coming principals in the pipeline as a replacement..

The BCC principal is the most senior high school principal MCPS has at the moment due to the uptck in principal retirements in the past 3-4 years.

Here is my personal assessment: 80% of what people are upset about are things totally outside of his control. He does not make county-wide or federal policy, B-CC objectively has a complicated student mix with very wealthy families and less wealthy families that have different needs and expectations, it’s geographic location in downtown Bethesda creates some unique issues after sporting events, he can’t control SWAT-ing calls from out of state, etc.

And, it takes a very special person to be excellent at managing the students and parents of a school like that. Dr. Mooney is a kind, likeable person who cares deeply about that school, and I think some parents believe that school would benefit from more of an iron fist approach, which just doesn’t seem to be his personal style.

Other than the location in downtown Bethesda, what makes it so different from Blair which seems to have less of these problems. Similar mix of kids I think.

There is a lot more wealth from Bethesda and chevy chase at BCC than Blair.

That's not a complete explanation, though, unless it is the wealthy kids creating most of the problems at B-CC. I do think B-CC's location and open campus are a blessing and a curse. It creates a fun urban environment and puts kids close to internships and public transportation. On the other hand, it creates a more fluid situation on and around campus that can be harder to monitor.

I have seen many but probably not all of them. I still stick by what i am saying. What's is up and coming along with the abysmal principal teaining program, we are in for some rough times ahead! Add onto that, the cuts that are coming from the Federal government. All together, will make more teachers and leaders leave.

The Poolesville principal has been there a bit longer.
