How many freakin times does Mo Co have to contact me about their stupid resource fair?

It is a resource fair for all families, not just families who speak English and/or Spanish.

It's not only the resource fair -- I must have gotten multiple calls for every freaking individual program in the DCC. MCPS definitely abuses its robocall powers.

If MCPS didn't do this, people would complain that MCPS hadn't informed them.

The bilingual calls annoy me! We live in America. If we give your kids free ESOL classes, get your butt out there and lean the language yourself.

I see that too. Should be Spanish only.

And a 3rd call tonight. Thankfully it is tomorrow, so hopefully we'd only have one more call tomorrow afternoon. "Don't forget! Tonight! Be there!!!"

It took me more time to read your post complaining about the robocall than to listen to the beginning of the robocall and then hang up on it. (And yes, it took me even more time to type this response.)

Is there a way to opt out of the robo call. I also get an email after each call. Don't need both.

I was wondering the same thing.

This is OP. Three times is too many, email+phone is too much. It's stopping whatever I'm doing to go and check the phone that's the annoyance. They set these things to go off at 6 and 7 pm, which is a very buy time in our household. It's one more thing I don't need to deal with. Bell times didn't get as much push nor did anything having to do with the waiver or even snow days. It's overkill.

Another small annoyance during peak witching hour time, when odds are high that I'm grumpy already due to homework battles, toddler meltdown, end of day fatigue, etc...

So, I'd rather pass, thank you.

I sympathies with OP - in the last week, I've had NINE contacts from MCPS about this {*^>}|ing resource fair? ENOUGH ALREADY.

I think everyone who gets an unwanted robocall should Tweet Dr. Starr about it. Perhaps he would then Tweet back about how to opt out of robocalls?
