Clearly MCPS is not preparing our kids for college.

And conversely, kids need to come to school, prepared to learn. Is that the case in our schools? All our schools? More funding will not fix interest in learning, attitude, and values.

The BOE needs more funding for pet projects, not education. They need to get back to basics, partner with parents, and hold students accountable. Bring back textbooks, books, and more.

Parents no

Have you been to a BOE meeting. Parents are horrible and stupid book banning idiots

I am thrilled that my kid’s school has banned phones from morning bell to dismissal. Best news I’ve heard in a long time.

Wish we could say we are not going back but communications seems worse than then.

The worst thing about about MCPS is how they act t like the most strident parents represent all parents and instead of recognizing most parents are reasonable and aren't at BOE meetings they focus their energies on placating the crazy angry parents.

What grade level is your kid's school?

It’s a K-8. I do realize high school is a lot more complicated when it comes to dealing with phones.

So private school as there are no K-8’s in MCPS.

No phones allowed in my son's MCPS Middle School from morning bell to dismissal.

But let's be honest.....parents have full use of Parental controls to guarantee it isnt used during school hours for unwarranted activities/apps, they just don't bother to learn how to use them most of the time.

My kid's MCPS school is pretty strict about this already. Maybe it's school specific.

Like those ones who appear every few weeks and say that teens end up rain damaged from having to go to school so early? Or the ones who want to ban books? Or bring back the virtual academy?

I'm with you - most are not crazy, but that's all they get to hear

My middle schooler says as long as he hands in the homeworks he will get a 100% on his math homework sub-score. I don't expect the teacher to grade 30+ kids' homeworks, but the incentives to be meticulous about homework are pretty low.

MoCo school system was among the very best in the USA in the 80s and 90s.
