[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have already been exposed.  Many, many times.   People keep voting to keep them into office.  People attack the group who exposed them.   People are getting exactly what they want.   [/quote]

Who has been exposed? Where? Evidence please? Elections are coming up and we can vote them out of office.  I’m new to McPS but was disgusted by my experience with the Kindergarten Jumpstart experience.  It didn’t work on two different computers, the IT specialist didn’t respond on how to fix and then offered to lend me a Chrome Book to use.  What a waste. Instead of designing their own customized stuff that doesn’t work, they could just use stuff that already exists in the market.[/quote]

Ugh!  The Kindergarten Jumpstart was an EMORMOUS waste of resources.

We tried it also because DS started K this year.  They should have purchased some K workbooks and given them out to kids at orientation.  [b]Instead of wasting money on tech initiatives that didn’t even work.[/b]  [/quote]

MCPS can't even get the internet and Outlook to run reliably this year, but there's always a "reason" (um, excuse). If you expect us to use technology, make sure it actually works. It's incredibly frustrating to spend time planning lessons and making sure the lessons occur in a sequence that makes sense, but then arrive at school and have the internet down for half the day. Or have it take 10 minutes to send one email because Outlook keeps freezing. My child started K this year, but I didn't even bother with K Jumpstart once I found out it was technology based. I just assumed it wouldn't work and nobody would actually have to take responsibility for it. Just like how the required summer training modules wouldn't work and also wouldn't record scores so many people had to do them all again which was a complete waste of time. It is an outrage that the people in those offices still have jobs.
