[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the type of thing that MCPS should inform parents of during kindergarten orientation, but they don't.

There's a 99% chance that they did say it, or it's on the school's website, or in the directory/handbook and the parents just don't bother to listen or read it because if it's not spoonfed to them, then it's someone else's fault that they can't be bothered to click any links or figure it out. Parents have somehow known to call the school office since there were schools with offices and phones, but yeah, it's MCPS's fault. And when the same problem keeps happening over and over again with the absence being coded incorrectly, don't wonder if maybe you are doing something wrong, just keep doing the same thing.

This is like that thread with the person who had some ridiculous amount of EZPass fines because they'd had it set up wrong for months, and of course it was EZPass's fault that the driver didn't wonder why 50 transactions hadn't been charged. Because everything is someone else's responsibility and nobody should have to figure anything out. [/quote]

Or maybe MCPS should take some of it’s huge technology budget and find a more modern way to manage attendance.  It’s embarassing that in 2018 that there’s a job for an attendance secretary to do data entry when that’s something that could be relatively easily captured by the teacher who has face to face contact with her kids each day.  Cut that job and get more aides into classrooms.[/quote]
