Then an entire cohort of children experience high school with out the infrastructure needed for fundamental curriculum and extracurricular experiences. Would you be ok with no science labs? No cafeteria? No sports facilities? The work arounds are inadequate and inequitable. |
Are they delaying the courses that require an auditorium? No. They are trying to pretend like every school will play nice and share what limited space they have available. It’s such as a shame how little MCPS values or understands the performing arts. Have you not paid attention to decades of brain research? |
Thats great if it would work for your kids, but it wouldn't where we live. |
They'd just practice and hold concerts and plays at another location. |
Our school doesn't do science labs. Not one lab in biology class so no loss there. The lunch is the same for everyone so most kids don't eat in the cafeteria and eat in the halls, classrooms, etc. Not all sports practice on MCPS property. We have to pick up our kids after school and take them. |

Most kids who are in the arts do it outside of mcps. |
That magical land of endless auditoriums that children can teleport to and be back for their next class! Tell the Council the problem is solved! |
No no no no - arts and music in school is essential |
Indeed. MCPS certainly can tell Strathmore to move out for several years so they can use the facility... |
That is the whole point of more sidewalks and more public transit. |
Ok, that doesn’t work in all neighborhoods and it does not address crossing major roads at rush hour with no crossing guards. |
Our school expects us to drive our kids or carpool for multiple things, so if we have to, why shouldn’t you? |
They are good but most programs are ok at best and kids who are good are in private lessons and outside organizations too. Be real, you think the top playing musicians only do mcps. Nope. |
There are days available. Or, other places in Rockville, like the Fitzgerald theater. They can use other schools too. |
