Who would’ve ever guessed that?

Just wait until you get covid and parvovirus at the same time. Then you'll agree we should have moved everyone back to virtual. Schools aren't safe.

What is your obsession with the MVA? You keep starting it for a reaction. Get your mental health checked. Get off social media.

The MVA is not just about Covid. Grow up.

We are shifting public health norms to accommodate End Stage Capitalism. Schools are disease factories, by design. MVA was the only defense.

MCPS could have used the covid money to upgrade ventilation, used the money to sanitize buildings, supplies, desks, etc every night and more. The BOE chooses their pet products and their wants/needs first. If they are against the MVA and insist on in person, they should open a separate voluntary school with strict illness guidelines and masking for kids who need it.

Why not masking for all?

I just re-read the Q&A and Taylor sidestepped these questions and didn't actually answer them:

1. Since you’ve come in, what have you observed?
2. Where do you think literacy instruction — particularly at the early levels for K-3 — is at and this coming year, what are the goals?

It's concerning that he struggles to get to specifics and action, given that you know he had to do his homework on the district as he was interviewing. Given that he's not completely foreign to the district, having been educated here, and that he's now been on the job for a solid 2 months, he should start getting into specifics quickly. As he admits, expectations in this county are high and the house has been on fire for some time. He can't slow roll bringing out the fire hose now.

He really hasn't done much to date.

That's fine, but the first question literally asked him what he has observed. Not what he has done. And the second question was about his goals for literacy in K-3. Even if he hasn't landed on an exact number, he should've been prepared to articulate an informed opinion on the topic, since he obviously knew MCAP scores sucked and he had to have had access to our last few years worth of MAP-R data....
