What is the point of the MCPS 8 panel brochure: "Building Our Future Together"

[Anonymous]

My child brought home a nice full color 8-panel brochure from MCPS. I tried to read it. There was no hierarchy to the material and was a bunch of mumbo-jumbo, gibber-jabber.

Did anyone else understand the purpose of this expensive union-printed handout?

What a waste of money.

You've hit the nail on the head, OP. Obviously this brochure is part of a scheme to re-establish union hegemony. Please help foil this nefarious plot by enrolling your child in private school.

Thanks for the link! Glad to see that others thought the same thing!

Sad to know that our school system is spending money and time on something that makes no sense to the intended audience!

The design is bad too.

Agree. Tons of text crammed into the panels. No visual hierarchy to the "information". Cr*ppy bland colors.

Whoever was in charge of the concept, design and implementation of that piece should be fired or demoted.

There were literally no takeaways from that piece of garbage.

What a waste of resources and time of parents trying to make sense of it. Now in the recycle bins of thousands of households across the county.
