[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anyone thinks Taylor will deliver anything resembling quality with his regional program scheme, they haven’t been paying attention. The teachers’ union is on the right track with its recommendations.[/quote]

I can't imagine anybody besides Taylor actually believes this is going to go well. I think the CO staff are just following his direction. I'm stunned that the BOE is going along with this as well. Our ES PTA has many questions that have gone unanswered. We're in the DCC and most of us think the overall goals are good and support expanding access to programs, but the way they are going about it makes no sense whatsoever. Why are our elected officials ignoring the massive negative impacts this will have on existing programs and the obvious fact that the new programs will be awful? Who on earth would want for their kid a program that is being made up as they go along? The 6th and 7th grade families are losing their minds and I don't blame them one bit. The fact that the BOE is just pretending this is all fine and that you can increase equity without actually doing an equity analysis (which MCPS seems not to know how to do, for all their talk about equity) is unconscionable.[/quote]

It is extraordinary the way the BOE is going along with all of this. Laura Stewart made an attempt to discuss slowing this down, but she now seems to be going along with it. Where is Julie Yang on this? She knows better. [/quote]
