[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really wish that folks would reach at to the media less about the school district.  Not to mention complain less. Eyes and accountability are important but I don’t think people consider  the damage and how difficult it also makes things.

Like does anyone realize that there is no district in the state written about or talked about more than MCPS? Heck there is no district nearby that is talked about as much and this includes FCPS which has more students and sometimes similar challenges.

I’m not suggesting that bad things should be covered up, but I am suggesting that everything doesn’t need parent opinion or to be made into a mountain.  Teachers are feed up with parents.  It’s hard to get people to want to do the work of Central Office. Sourcing for a Superintendent is a nightmare.  No one wants to run for BOE because of salary and the  backlash. Even kids hate the blood sport of competition that late to have created.

If there is anything at present that I would ask from parents it would be some calmness and discretion.[/quote]

Seriously? That’s your response to this opinion piece that is well-researched, well-argued and points out serious concerns worth considering?

Just a blanket, “Leave MCPS alone” plea? Do you not see how pathetic you sound?[/quote]

I didn’t say anywhere “Leave MCPS alone.” What I said is that some of ya’ll need to learn better discretion, partnership, and that the Bethesda area view of things is not the only view that must be considered. What I called out, is that the constant overly public negativity about the district does damage.  As much as we can and should push for change and improvements, that should also be teemed with understanding for exactly how good things are in comparison to many school districts elsewhere, including in this very state.  Not to mention, that while opinion pieces like this can be well researched and push for good things, they also bring with them a spotlight that is not always helpful.

Some of ya’ll on this board can’t manage a decision of bedtimes without crowdsourcing. Imagine if I constantly shone a spotlight on your every decision and all the inner working of your house. Imagine the stress that would cause. Imagine how much priority shifting would happen as you respond to people’s comments, questions, concerns or call out of both real and perceived failings.
