[quote=Anonymous]I think the letter submitted by the parents asked for a response/action by July.  MCPS is a huge bureaucracy.   Even if MCPS generally agrees with the parents, I simply can't imagine a change going into effect that quickly (I'm not the parent of a middle schooler, but I've seen how slowly the wheels can turn).  Maybe MCPS will agree to schedule a meeting where parents can repeat themselves.  And then 4 months later they'll schedule a follow-up meeting to talk about it some more.  And maybe MCPS will respond with a letter that seems to say something but somehow doesn't really get the parents anywhere.  And maybe there will be testimony in front of the BOE.  And maybe Starr will consider taking a position, but he won't have time to actually review the issue for a year or two.  And all of this will find itself on a trajectory that is designed to ensure that the parents who were most involved in advocating for change have moved on and dropped the fight because their children are now in high school.

Enter the new class of 6th graders, and let the process repeat itself.[/quote]
