Taylor: “What’s the Worst That Could Happen? They Fire Me?”

[Anonymous]

It's no problem for him if he gets fired. The problem is for us. We'll be stuck with "Tim Walz" Moran at the expense of our children, teachers and leaders.

The email is fine. You all love to complain about everything. It is a nightmare job.

He doesn’t sound like much of a political navigator or much of a manager. Let him quit. He’s not up to the job and At least we won’t suffer through his stupid snow day videos.

I really dislike Taylor and disagree with most of the decisions he's been making and the way he's been approaching things.

But this email does not bother me.

The email itself doesn’t bother me. But it does hint to him being overwhelmed with the job and not giving two Fs anymore.

Nah, I think he's just being jokey. You gotta say something casual to lighten the mood after you say your "I'm gonna do what I think is right even if they fire me" thing.

That's how I read it, too. People who don't like him will find everyything he does or says negatively. I don't agree with everything but I can appreciate him doing what he thinks is right irrespective of the consequences.

This is the first time I've felt a slight sense of empathy for him. No one sane would want this job. The systems are too big, the problematic admins and their minions have wormed their tentacles in for 30+ years and no one superintendent can tease it all out, and a significant minority of the parents in this county are utterly vile.

I don't like him, but the perfect candidate isn't out there. Because again, nobody decent wants this job.

He is also a parent in the system isn't he. And don't talk about yourself like that.

State Senator Cheryl Kagan criticized MCPS and Taylor for their decisions on Wootton. The response to the community member was quite revealing and Pagnucco reprinted it since he felt it revealed something about Taylor's character and/or his state of mind.

Taylor’s email to the reader is printed below.

This really means a lot. The data is what the data is – I can’t change it. Politicians who chest-thump is nothing new in Montgomery County. I work for politicians, but I am not one and I also don’t wobble when they fuss (this makes them uncomfortable). Been doing this a long time…what’s the worst that could happen? They fire me? …great! Maybe I’ll get a full night’s sleep for once. 🙂

In all seriousness, the state has no role in this, especially individual legislators. We’ll get through this. And yes – Magruder finally has a clear path! They will be in the next CIP…I just wish it didn’t take so dang long to get stuff done around here.

Again, thanks for reaching out. Onward…!

All my best,

Thomas

Love Taylor so much. What a complete badass who keeps things in perspective and does the right thing.

Ok now S Taylor no need to praise your man here

He did say in the email he doesn't get much sleep.

Job sounds awful. He may not be a politician but the role is like being one. Everyone will criticize you, and thinks their ideas are better.
