His youngest may still be going to MCPS elementary school. The oldest are definitely at SSFS. You can see it in his social media and if you Google, you can find a link of PTA parent donors with his name on there.

I'm a middle school teacher, and I fricking hate, hate, hate restorative justice. We desperately need DISCIPLINE in our schools! This is a huge factor in what is driving teachers out!

Then we had COVID and as we all know, kids did not return to schools well. Behaviors were at an all time high and kids forgot how to behave in school. So here are these different kids and at the same time we are implementing a new system. I’m assuming it also impacted the amount of teacher training. Finally, this idea takes a lot of human support and upon returning to the buildings, there were more openings than ever, no substitutes, people being pulled right and left- so nobody to implement the plan.

So all these things collided and caused a disaster in schools.

This has nothing to do with it. I do not teach in MCPS, and my district as many others have used Restorative Justice for several years, and it's been a disaster the entire time, and teachers absolutely hate it.

And the "good" students hate it too. My kid begs me everyday to pull her out of her middle school because she can no longer deal with the craziness.

OK? Seems like where his kids go to school is a family matter, and none of our business.

Ok? Why do you have an issue with someone responding to a comment? And although it's none of our business, we can still call out a hypocrite when we see one, most ESPECIALLY our local politicians.

Lol sure I guess anyone who does a simple 5 second Google search and follows someone on social media is one, then. You sound angry.

Well, the fact that he thinks the private school is a much better option that his McPS middle school and high school says something about his view of the schools. I guess his answer would be that he took his kids out of MCPS because of the racist admins and SROs, not because of all the weapons, drugs and general disruption.
Do any of the council members have kids in McPS middle or high schools? I’m not sure. I don’t think a politician needs to have a personal stake in a problem to be motivated to fix it, but it is kind of depressing when the council person doesn’t listen to what the teachers, admins or parents are saying about the problems at the same time that he has opted himself and his family out of the situation. He’s not my favorite.

+1 the progressive council members are out of touch, living in lalaland.

When he is advocating to make public schools unsafe for our kids it speaks volumes of his character. His kids get safe schools while ours have to contend with violence, bullying, sexual assaults daily?

Anyone can donate without being a parent.

I thought he was against SROs? If he's trying to make schools less safe, he would be pro-SRO at least based on the actual studies.
