[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First they drop CareFirst BC/BS, and now this. Yet more of Dr. McKnight's "New Beginning" for us teachers.  She should save her breath and simply give us one of these 🖕[/quote]

I know it's great that she's heading off the teacher shortage before it becomes a problem and also looking out for teachers by getting rid of a third rate insurance provider that almost nobody even takes these days.

Oh?  If she's claiming she's "fixing the hiring problem", it sounds like a serious case of Hero Syndrome to me.  In my view, it was her total incompetence and lack of attention to staffing issues last year when teachers were begging for help, the mishandling of the January covid fiasco, flipping the bird to the MCEA on two no confidence votes, that made teachers want to quit in the first place.

And I think you meant the Maryland IG is cleaning up the MCPS insurance issues?  Unless you're saying she's taking credit for that as well?

If you think that’s why teachers are quitting you haven’t been paying attention.  Further if McKnight is the reason, then why are districts all across the country experiencing the same problem??[/quote]

Of course, McKnight has nothing to do with it, but these cranks have an agenda. [/quote]

[b]You're both right, but the McKnight Stalker is going to post these wacky conspiracies no matter what[/b].[/quote]

At this point I ignore them. It's not like anyone serious cares about their wacky conspiracy theories. [/quote]

I think it's ironic that you and your partner seem to be the only "conspiracists" around?  I read these carefully.  You use the same words over and over again because you have no good responses and no new material or news articles to support your POV.  However, the ticked off teachers and parents are genuine.  Different opinions.  Different material.

No, there is no "stalker" or conspiracy against McKnight.  If she was a good superintendent, people would agree with you.  But she's not.  And there are tangible and well-documented reasons why she's not.

If you're with the boe, or just with MCPS, I couldn't say.  But I do know the more you try to defend her, the more likely you'll get caught into the tailspin as she crashes.

If she's done her job properly and is competent, there will be no further staffing issues in August.  No additional overcrowding - especially since the student population has dropped, not increased.[/quote]
