Freefall? LOL.

If by freefall you mean drastically better than when I went to MCPS 30 years ago, sure.

Aren't they're a bunch of right-wing nutjobs that hate public education and resent paying to educate the poor?

Stop complaining and support the teachers!

What’s biased about telling the truth?

I think everyone can agree there are two major battling sides. Sometimes one side is right sometimes the other side is right. I want to know if there is any validity to what this blog is claiming.

I went to ask Kaitlyn Perez but she is taking a work break. I would like to see this covered in a non-biased way.

Sorry, don’t agree with your two battling sides. There are laws, polices and procedures. Follow them or don’t.

I'm interested in why the board is voting on legislation that Maryland delegates are supposed to be voting on? The board should be focused upon their own work. Their vote doesn't even count, correct?

They're voting on whether MCPS should support or oppose the legislation, which, apparently, is useful information for some legislators.

Your comment made me curious about the Parents' Coalition so I visited their website.

This is shocking. Not the Parents' Coalition reporting, but if Wolfe actually did this it would seem more of a dictatorship than an actual voting board? OMG. This is crazy.

The declining quality of governance in this county, from the council to the BOE is a major concern.

Yes, they are nutjobs. And per usual they, point out problems as opposed to proposing solutions. They like to finger point rather than work to solve problems. However, this time they are right.

Believe me, I am not a Parent Coalition supporter, just a parent who is EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED with MCPS!

Dictatorship? Silvestre and Smondrowski changed their votes to yes. That was their choice.

Wolff would not go to the next agenda item until they did. She had already violated rules of voting.
It is called bullying.

Pointing out problems= nut job?

When the Parents Coalition pointed out that public school was free and said MCPS should stop charging students to attend classes what part of that was wrong?

But what would have been the negative consequence to Silvestre and Smondrowski if they just held firm?

Parents DO NOT support more half days and closures. Students need instructional time to make up for the reduced instructional time during online learning. Many students, particularly students with disabilities, had regression and lost the momentum of progress they had before online learning.

I am not understanding why Central Office keeps putting forward plans for staff to work less. I sure hope Dr. McKnight doesn’t permanently become Superintendent if this is her idea of how to run a school system. OP is right - MCPS and the Board is a mess.

Three half days isn't going to impact instructional time. They need to use the time they have in school more wisely. Most kids who had issues leaning online didn't participate or even log on or do the work nor had involved parents monitoring things. So, MCPS slowed down the curriculum and punished the kids participating vs. failing those kids who didn't do the work.

I actually received teacher reports for my disabled child that stated he could not receive services and accommodations during online learning. I filed a state complaint and MSDE agreed that he was denied a Free Appropriate Public Education during online learning. His regression was significant.

Some kids struggled because MCPS didn’t teach them.

It was not better when I went there.

So, when the laws, policies and procedures do not serve your purpose, then you proclaim that the laws only work for some and not for others. But when they fit your narrative, you preach others on laws, policies and procedures.
