[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The basic point that seems to be lost here is that Wootton has been a too performing school that improves the prestige of the MCPS system.   Why would anyone want a school like that closed?   The name at least should be preserved, which would carry the prestige forward.  However there in lie the issue.  One of the agendas here is to get rid of the name, even if that means erasing the prestige. Why have top, Nationally recognized schools when we can have mediocrity?[/quote]

MCPS is being run by people who neither understand nor value the role prestige plays. Their leadership is shortsighted, dismissive of long term consequences, and singularly focused on equity for its own sake, without regard for excellence or outcomes. They are also undermining programs that took decades to build like the Blair magnet, a nationally recognized and highly respected program on track to be dismantled, sacrificing proven success and reputation in the name of equity.
