[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how millennials idea of parenting is gossiping about how others aren’t doing enough for their kids while throwing in a few disingenuous virtue signals.

The schools will be the same + or - a percent, individual schools will perform and struggle differently based on their unique challenges and life will go on. Your kid will sink or swim depending on how well you parent.  [/quote]

I am one of the critics and I'n not just criticizing from the sidelines, I've actually invested a ton of time and effort into this process. I'm actually pretty furious about how MCPS sucked me into spending dozens of hours of my time on their sham "design team" process in the spring, at significant personal inconvenience, because I believed in the principles behind what they said they were doing and naively trusted that they would eventually get to the big questions and engage with us to come up with strong proposals.  Instead they wasted our time week after week on hours and hours of unimportant conversations and then slowed down and stopped meeting with us when they started getting into the real issues and people weren't just saying "your plans are great." If our involvement was just supposed to be a charade anyway, then they at least should have kept it to a handful of short meetings.

Fellow design team member. Do you like how they are now chastising anyone who includes other design team members on emails? They don't want us to work together to oppose their plans. I'm sure we won't be meeting anymore for the same reason. What a sham of a process.[/quote]

Central office staff are hell bent on scolding, tone policing, and stifling discussion in that group. Jeannie literally lectured me for typing “omfg” in a zoom chat and said I made her feel “a kind of way.”

Yeah, well, her plans to fundamentally alter kids’ school made me feel a kind of way. So I guess we’re even. [/quote]
