You All Complain Too Much

[Anonymous]

I wonder if anyone has measured how many students graduate from MCPS proficient in both math and ELA. According to the MD school report card MoCo high schools have a 41% proficiency rate in math and a 60% proficiency rate in ELA. How many of these students are proficient in both? My guess is less than half.

Realizing 41% is the max since only 41% graduate proficient in math. So maybe 1 in 3 MCPS graduates are proficient in both math and ELA. But this is parents' fault for asking too much of MCPS? Gmafb

OP. Don't let it get to you. Chin up.

DC is just full of entitled people. It's what you get from the mix of power, money, and politics.

If wanting more than 1 in.3 kids to graduate proficient in both math and ELA makes me "entitled" then I am happy for you to call me entitled.

No, what’s pathetic is the Mad Mommies of MoCo being predictably Big Mad about everything.

Something happens I tell my wife, “uh oh, the Mad Mommies of MoCo are gonna be Big Mad.”

I live in Virginia btw. I think you people are batshit loony.

You’re calling people who complain about MCPS on DCUM loony, but you’re spending your free time attacking people on a forum for a school district you don’t have kids in.

That sounds sane and normal to you?

Girl, bye.

Lol you think you did something there.

Amusing.

Why are you reading and posting then??

Isn't the sole purpose of this site to just complain and expect everyone to agree with your POV. And if they don't, you just name-call and end the discussion.

Been saying this since I moved to this area a few yrs ago - all talking out the sides of their mouths

The people who are complaining about DCUM discussing and acknowledging MCPS’s failures don’t care that the system is failing children. They just care that we pretend MCPS is a great school district.

I guess I could understand MCPS employees feeling defensive about the reputation of the school system, but I can’t fathom why parents would be on here getting bent out of shape because people are criticizing MCPS. It’s weird.

You will never, ever, ever get all of the things you want and demand from MCPS, no matter how much you huff and puff and stomp your feet. Public schools are designed to serve the masses and not your individual circumstances. And honestly, many of you have inflated egos which cause you to believe you are entitled to everything you are asking for.

If you want to get whatever you ask for, be heard and have a direct say in your child’s school and policies, go to private school. Yes, it can be expensive but it’s worth it. Also, a lot of your expectations are just delusional. Some of the things you are asking for (and won’t be receiving) are not even available in private schools.

Beer money and champagne taste. No wonder you can’t keep a superintendent!

This!!!

So glad to not be amongst these virtue signaling, complainers who just yap and don’t actually take any action. We got what we needed out of MCPS, but so glad to not be amongst these tiresome parents!

They are absolutely exhausting and never ever satisfied. If it was forecast to rain at school day the next day, there would be a 10 page post with:

Taylor strikes again!
What if my child gets wet!
What if my child drowns in a puddle!
My Kid Asked Me, “Mommy, why does MCPS Hate me?!”
I can’t believe MCPS did not delay school!
Doesn’t MCPS Know that Little Larla L’Advanced has RAINDROP allergies?!
Why doesn’t MCPS have umbrellas for every kid?!
I will NOT be sending my kid to school tomorrow!
Why Can’t the FARMS kids mop the rain off of the playground?

+1 ha. We pay a lot in taxes but get little in return, and then the county/MCPS wants us to keep paying more. I'm looking at you, Elrich.
