[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lowering the curriculum didn’t help any student in MCPS. Loosing a whole teaching day really hurt students.

Those with means in Montgomery County supplement.  Those who don’t, fall further behind. There’s nothing special about the teaching at the W schools.  W schools often have higher class sizes than the Title I schools.  The difference is that W parents can afford private resources when MCPS is falling short.  This has been the problem in Montgomery County for at least 40 years. [/quote]

Many parents do it themselves when we say supplement.  We 100% did it on our own in ES.  In MS, we do pay for summer math classes but a parent still provides supports.  Come HS, we may have to pay but K-5th its easy to grab a few workbooks (baring you don't have educational/academic issues and speak/read English).[/quote]

Yes, the W's are pretty much the same as any school any UMC kid does about the same at any school from what I've seen because they have support at home. It really has nothing to do with the schools.[/quote]

One W school might be different from the rest at least in the near future. The Churchill principal left to be an AP after only 3 years on the job - not enough time to see a whole class of students through high school.  There’s no leadership in the school right now.  God knows how teacher vacancies will be filled.

Dr. McKnight says communication is part of her 100 day goals however Churchill has not had an update on the search for a new principal in a month.  The original interviews was supposed to be on June 18th but those plans were scrapped for a new MCPS holiday.

Perhaps Dr. McKnight’s vision doesn’t include W schools like Churchill or she needs to check with her staff to see why they aren’t implementing her 100 day plans.  Either way, a 100 day plan is meaningless unless it filters down to the school level from Central Office.[/quote]

Sheesh Karen settle down. They're supposed to announce someone in a couple days.[/quote]

Morale of the staff is at an all time low.  There is no leadership at the school.  At least Central Office should be stepping up.  Mrs. Heckert wasn’t given enough support to be successful.  How is the leadership in Central Office going to support the new hire?  [/quote]
