Look through the new regional program website for all the errors MCPS didn't catch before taking it live. My favorite is the front page on the button for regions where they left template text in so it says "This is a wider card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This card has even longer content than the first to show that equal height action."

"AP Enrollment in Music Theory junior year" is another good one.

Wow. The M.ad M.omm.ies of M.oC.o are really deranged. Imagine being so unbalanced that you would post something like this and expect people to guffaw knowingly.[/quote]

You’re replying on Page 5 of the thread so…[/quote]

Taylor and crew just got into work.  They had a tough day yesterday getting berated at the Council.  Attacking parents is how he relieves stress. [/quote]

They were berated by the Council? Oh I've got to watch that.[/quote]

So MCPS and Board President Grace Rivera-Oven had to defend their CIP to the Council. Watching now to see how hard the Council went in on them.[/quote]

Ok. So the confrontational part seemed to start when Friedson challenged Taylor on whether he'd been transparent and engaged with the public about the relocation of the bus sites.

Taylor looked like he wanted to get up and punch Friedson. He was very spicy and feisty. Essie appeared flustered as she always does. What a horrible chief of staff pick.

If Friedson were to become County Exec, it'd be interesting to see how he and Taylor would work together....[/quote]

Time stamp: around 2:20

[b]I also found very uncomfortable hearing how Taylor and Grace addressed student member's question on whether they had surveyed student atheletes on preference of real grass vs. artificial one (time stamp: 2:00 ish)[/b]. They both ducked in the first round, and then Grace said she got emails from her district saying student athletes like artificial grass. There's absolutely no survey that I'm aware of about this. Again, they are making changes without users' inputs/feedback.

I play soccer and hate turf. The touch is so different, and turf is burning hot under sunshine. As an environmentalist with my job, I can also tell you 100 bad things about turf to the environment vs. real grass. [/quote]

I agree. They were both condescending and negative in their tone. They didn't listen to the substance of his question and were more interested in defending the board and system's decision.

That is telling and it's terrifying since it's supposed to be the job of these people of either educating our children or shepherding the education of our children. And treating children with disdain the way they did should be a red flag for those people in that role.
