[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A leader doesn't make excuses.  A leader steps up and rises to the occasion.  Churchill (you may have heard the name before?  Hint, a High School was named after him?) by all accounts was an insufferable dud of mid-level bureaucrat.  It wasn't until the attack on Britain that he stood up and gave the people hope during a very dark period of world history.

Compare that to what the board and central office did.  Two votes of no confidence, mishandled the January spike ot the point of begging for National Guard drivers, squandered covid money.

They don't even have the excuse of blaming covid.  Remember changing the magnet program into a lottery, gerrymandered school boundaries,  failing to keep proper maintenance and renovation of schools, catering only to silver spring and poolesville for resources while starving out mid-county / NE / SW, or how they handled discrimination cases to the point of a huge open case backlog at the Dept of Ed OCR?  Covid is just the latest excuse within a very long list of leadership failures.

I'm not voting for any incumbents at the next board of election.  I'm voting for anyone who will hold MCPS accountable to parents and teachers.

"Do you think parents are different people from past years?  If so, what made them change?"

In my case, having witnessed first-hand the sheer incompetence and corruption that was always within MCPS, but just exposed so openly when the chips were down and manifest itself in the multiple leadership failures during the covid pandemic and how they totally disregarded the health and safety of children and teachers, I'm just out of tolerance for B.S.  Personally, I want to see the board and McKnight charged with waste, fraud and abuse, or maybe discrimination but will settle for having them removed from making decisions about our children.  If you don't believe that it's occurred, there are a few lists that can be reposted.[/quote]

Fair points.

There is enough blame to go around, IMO.  Some blame for this sh$tshow is a school district falls squarely at the feet of the BOE.  And also very much at the feet of voters in this County who have voted for politicians who have destroyed Montgomery County.
