Errors in the new MCPS program website

[Anonymous]

I love this one “ Aviation – Study the aviation and aerospace industries, building skills to become a pilot or unmanned aircraft systems.”. I always dreamt of becoming an unmanned aircraft system.

Did you notice in the last BOE slides that Global Ecology was not labeled with a "c" or an "i" - they left it off, prob intentionally.

Race to the bottom.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "corporate drone"!

"Critical Languages, Cultures, and Global Connections (Chinese)"

So really just one critical language, not languages plural.

My favorite is the front page on the button for regions where they left template text in so it says "This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This card has even longer content than the first to show that equal height action."

"AP Enrollment in Music Theory junior year" is another good one.

Ap music theory junior year can happen if you plan right but the joke is some of the schools don’t offer it with their music program.

Critical Languages, Cultures, and Global Connections (Chinese)

The Regional Critical Languages Program empowers language learners and native and heritage speakers to become multilingual, intercultural leaders who can communicate, connect, and collaborate across diverse communities. By integrating global perspectives and pathways such as Communications, Cybersecurity, Education, Humanities, and Leadership, we equip students with the linguistic proficiency, cultural competence, and critical skills needed to thrive in a complex, interconnected world.

Wow, that's a comprehensive Chinese language program, if it includes cybersecurity, education and leadership!

The engineering at Wheaton is completely different from Engineering at the other 5 regions.

Taking ap physics in 9th without calculus makes no sense.

Looks like they are modeling the use of AI to say absolutely nothing with lots and lots of words

Why can't this be at all high schools? Don't they all have most of these classes?

It's like Poolesville gets to keep the good ecology program and everyone else gets the Dollar Store version.

Like everything in MCPS they are trying to create a perception of uniformity and equal access, calling it "equity" and not achieving any of those things.

Who are all the community partners that will give hundreds of students internships?

I'm on the design team and we asked about that. MCPS plans to leave it up to schools to figure that out.

As if the schools have lots of people with nothing to do.

AI-generated for sure.

Another design team member here. We pointed that out. Why not just call it Chinese Language & Culture?

Is it really only chinese or is this a mistake? So there won’t be in Spanish or French?

What is musicianship? How are they going to offer these classes without more staff?
