Put more stock in the opinions of your neighbors than of random DCUM people.

+1 My kids went through ESS and had a great experience. It's a nice little community, and small enough that kids can get to know teachers/staff. There has always been churn at MCPS elementary schools, but that's common in large school districts where a teacher can hop around until they get their dream job in terms of grade level and geography.

For what it is worth, my kids left ESS academically and socially well prepared for next steps. One went to the local MS and one to a magnet MS and in both cases the education they received at ESS prepared them for the academics of their respective programs.

This is exactly what I’m hearing from neighbors whose kids go there now as well.

Lol wow, imagine having a job and someone saying, "my neighbors kids visited there and said it was great so it MUST be true! The employees don't know what they are talking about!"

A teacher's life.

Are teachers trying to drive families away from the school? I was not aware.

Nope. You can go on your corporate websites and complain about work. So can teachers. The magic of logic.

I’ve got no problem with that. In fact I have every sympathy. However, you seem bothered by people sharing positive experiences with the school because of the challenges teachers are dealing with. I’m not sure what teachers are doing if it isn’t trying to promote a positive school environment for children and families. By many accounts they have been very successful in that.

+1 It sounds like an employee with a grievance. That's fine. Sometimes employees have grievances, but that's often not the whole story nor does it always impact the experience of clients (in this case parents and kids).

The wonderful thing about MCPS as an employer is that there's always another school you can move to with minimal bureaucracy. If one isn't a good fit, move on, but don't come on here reacting poorly to families just talking about how their child likes school.

No one is reacting poorly to families with good experiences. If you were capable of reading, it was obvious the post wasnt about the school itself, it was about the working conditions. The PP stated their kids having good experiences years ago is irrelevant. Nice try at being patronizing and condescending though. Didn't work, but cute.

What post? There have been a lot of comments about ESS, and I do not believe PP responded to a comment about working conditions with a reflection of their kids’ former experience.

Please learn to read then come back. If you can't click back a few threads to find a post, now we know where the learned helplessness comes from.

It was very CLEARLY implied the poster was relating their experiences at ESS to the current climate there. Read between the lines. My kid is in upcounty and this thread couldnt mean less to me, but that is so apparent and obvious.

I mean, this is not a refutation of what I said, but sure, I’m the one not reading properly.

Okay, so I went back and grabbed the entire thread leading up to the person saying they had a good experience. Which lines would you ask that we read between?

Sure! Send your kid to a school that is falling apart because a few years ago, you had a positive experience! Again...of course because this is DCUM. The lack of brain cells never ceases to amaze me.
