[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oakland mills was literally like a scene out of stand and deliver. every student bathroom was flooded from students clogging the toilets, water would seep into the hallways... there is a completely separate group of administrators for the Latino\Latina students.... Whole days of classes in Spanish because learning the language here is pointless right? you'll never need to ask for directions or any question about anything. students watching porn on their phones...in class , but the teacher did nothing....

not only are Howard county schools not good enough to justify the property taxes homeowners pay , but I would argue they are the same as PG county.... or no better than. I have worked for every county in MD except for Frederick and Washington county Maryland.

Furthermore. School is going to be quite different next year , as all the janitors , teachers aids , office staff and all support workers leave the profession because of sub human wages. Its going to be nothing but teachers and principals left , So you'd better hop your school principal is willing to put on a hair net and shoulder up to the lunch ladies...

Do you say that HoCo schools don't justify the taxes but then just talk about Oakland Mills. And even your account form OM is deceptive. Some of what you say is extremely concerning to me -- namely flooded bathrooms that don't get fixed and kids watching porn (or anything really) on their phones in class. But are these frequent occurrences or things that happened one time? That's stuff that absolutely happens at other well regarded public HSs in the area sometimes.

Classes occurring in Spanish... well it depends on the situation. OM has a large Spanish-speaking population. If occasionally non-reading/writing classes were conducted in Spanish, assuming all the students and the teacher are fluent, why would that be so terrible? I am not Latino but that wouldn't bother me unless it negatively impacted my child's education. I've met plenty of OM students and they all spoke English, so what you are saying is that OM has lots of bilingual students? That's considered a huge bonus in schools with majority white populations. Why would it be so terrible in a school with a majority-Latino population?[/quote]
