Yes, we know... you put it on every thread. Wait to see what the Einstein offerings are, given that you aren't satisfied currently, maybe it will be better.

I am not the poster you think I am. Einstein offers more courses than many other high schools. I still despise Taylor and most of my neighbors are livid about the regional program model.

What are you talking about? No, they don’t and while they advertise some classes on the course bulletin they don’t actually happen. The have very little in terms of stem. They have very little in some of the arts which is supposed to be what they specialize in. With the reduction of students, and the new forced academies, things will be cut, and the only things that can be are stem and arts.

The problem is Taylor and CO still don’t understand or refuse to recognize that course bulletin is nothing closer than what is actually offered on the plate. Their course bulletin catelog published in this January was totally useless BS, and they make every so-called “improvements” based on that piece of BS.

The courses listed in this report for each high school are courses that students were enrolled in during Spring 2025

https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/OLO/Resources/Files/2026_Reports/OLOReport%202026-2.pdf

This is not accurate. Some of the courses aren’t offered.

Exactly. This is what HS principals or APs provided to CO, not what was actually offered in 2025. CO has very weak control over principals.

In other words, we should trust anecdotes from anonymous DCUM posters rather than data from OLO?

Look at the actual course offerings at the school level. Our school lists extra AP classes and electives but they don't offer them when you go to sign up.

I have no idea which courses are inaccurate nor could I point them to how to verify that they are innaccurate

Just like when you want to understand if your seasonal forecast is helping farmers in planning or weather forecast is actually helping emergency management, you want to visit farmers and frontline responders, instead of some manager in Dept. of Agriculture or administrator of Dept. of transportation.

Please cite the specific errors you are alleging in the OLO report.

I mean...

"Only seven MCPS high schools still offer the program. Of the teams at the seven schools, fewer than 100 athletes are participating this school year, according to Lopez."

Seems like a good decision to me, if it's expensive.

I support cutting out that inequitable program—there are lots of sports that should remain in private sector.

It's not as expensive as sending 31 pickleball students to China for $500K.

Or, offer it at all schools. Gymnastics is a good sport to have.

Its been posted in many threads. The BOE, central office and Taylor probably read this site and don't care, same as principals.

Keeping gymnastics as a viable sport doesn’t give Jeff Sullivan a free trip to China.
