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.

Gross. PP, you sound awful.

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.

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

Low expectations is partly what is causing MCPS to go downhill. Congrats.

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

Look at the election results in the county. The vast majority are liberal/progressives.

As a PP stated: DCUM is not a reflection of real life.

When I hear people complaining about MCPS, I tell them you voted for this. Hold your nose and vote the opposite next time. Who knows, things might actually turn out the way you want.

But they won’t…
