[quote=Anonymous]MCPS is accountable to students, parents and taxpayers. As a government service, they most certainly do need to be responsive to the community that they serve.

I understand that Starr has tried to dismiss the survey but the arguments that the 1500 signatures probably came from people out of state is grasping at straws. No one in West Virginia gives a rat's behind about the math curriculum in MD. This isn't a hot topic such as gun control, the presidency or anything that would attract anyone beyond parents in MCPS or possibly taxpayers worried about property values if a drop in school prestige affects the local housing market.

The petition isn't the only tool that parents should use to raise awareness but its valuable that it is visible. I know that our principal tried to say that parents are not complaining anymore about the curriculum. She went on to try to report that everyone must be happy after they watched the video. An email went out from our PTA and many people were very shocked at these statements. Parents have been complaining at our school to her, writing letters, complaining to teachers and while some are getting fatigued with no response, this desire to sweep everything under the rug brought them all back out.
