[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue isn’t MCPS. Its society. This is the first generation being raised with phones and iPads as easy entertainment. Kids don’t learn to manage themselves, think for themselves, be creative, etc. Their parents are millennials who were raised in structured activities, trophy for everything, and now don’t have some essential parenting skills like setting boundaries.

The public education system isn’t designed to be a service industry that so many people treat it as. Too many people (federal, state, local, individual) have very different ideas of how it should operate, which pulls it in too many directions. Yes there are plenty of problems, but it’s not something that MCPS alone can fix.[/quote]

Absolutely agree. I was a teacher and school administrator for many years and now I work with schools through an education nonprofit. So much of what DCUM attributes to MCPS is post-pandemic society that public, charter and independent schools are experiencing across the United States. Of course MCPS has areas that it needs to strengthen - along with every other school and district in the country - but the melodrama on here about MCPS is absurd. It's everywhere. It's the state of our country and a wake up call for change. [/quote]
