Is MCPS Superintendent Starr stupid?

Rest assured if you are unsatisfied with the results, it is because you are a racist who does not want your white child taught alongside children of color, or because your white privilege cannot understand the societal need for your child to make sacrifices for the greater good of reducing inequality.

All high achieving students are not white.

Thank you 20:03 pp. I could not agree with you more.

I have been teaching for quite a while now, and even though I get the weakest students year after year who test quite well after a year in my class, I have good rapport with them and their parents, principals do not really like me because "I am not the best team player".

Very true, but outliers are never to be considered or analyzed because according to Progressive ideology everything is the product of group power dynamics as opposed to individual attitudes effort ect.. Also note that Asians are counted as White (if not more White than White people) under the Progressive Racial Classification System.

Citation needed. Actually, multiple citations needed.

Education is by not a single subject such as law and medicine. I much prefer people who trained in a subject area to teach than the ed majors.

By the way, I would let the docs design health policy either. In fact, if we have fewer lawyers as legislators, we will pass better laws too.

The US is considered unique in how powerful ed school types are. Google it, you will find a citation for it.

I meant would not let the doctors.

I work in an alternative setting where I've seen two white kids enter our program, and their stay was temporary. The majority of our kids are black and Hispanic males. Obviously, you don't support our effort in turning these youths into happy, productive citizens.

And this is why we will always have Zimmerman-Martin cases.

You make me ill.

So who in the HELL should lead us in law? in education? in medicine?

You're an idiot. Google your own ass and you'll find your face under images.

Clearly you have no understanding of public policy. I am not going to argue with you. And I am not going to be rude either.

My point on the ed school types being uniquely powerful on how our children are taught is not even controvesial in education policy circle.

I'm a private school parent in MC. I'd love to save the money and switch...but Starr is awful. I can't support his policies. If anyone has a suggestion on how to get the guy out, let me know.

Which policies, specifically, do you object to so much that you're keeping your child(ren) out of public school?

I'd like to know this too.

Policies that don't group kids according to ability. Ones that lets the top kids languish as they will do fine on tests anyway. Bringing up the bottom to the exclusion of meeting the needs of everyone else.

Proficient not excellence is the goal. It's so sad. I feel like listening to Starr is akin to what must have been like back in the day to listening to Eastern Bloc pols.

Why are Asians counted as White? Is this for convenience? Does this make it easier and more palatable for the MCPS performance gap analysis to lump Asians with Whites the way policy wonks lump Blacks with Hispanics? Do you think Asians support the policies of MCPS and Starr?
