My DCC kid voted for her enthusiastically.[/quote]

Nice censoring of comments on this thread.  Congrats MCPS!  But still no one has been able to name one single thing a SMOB has done to stand up for students.  The SMOB consistently votes mindlessly with the adults. [/quote]

Not true. At the most recent meeting, Suvarna disagreed with several of the adult members about how the proposed changes to the grading system would be rolled out, on the grounds that it would negatively impact juniors.[/quote]

And? Discussion only.  No vote. [/quote]

It wasn't an issue to be voted on. The point was, he stood up for current students and raised important concerns the other board members weren't thinking about.[/quote]

Which anyone can do without getting paid $30K.[/quote]

The SMOB is unpaid, but they receive a $25K college scholarship.[/quote]

That is a payment.  Plus expense account for trips, meals and perks.

You seem to have some sort of vendetta against SMOBs. What happened to you, PP?[/quote]

+100.  What do you have against a student representing the student voices on the BOE?[/quote]

When will actual students have a voice on the BOE? [/quote]

The SMOBs are all actual students.[/quote]

Name one SMOB that was ever on the BOE that was an average student that went off to Montgomery College like the average MCPS graduate.

You can’t. Those students are not allowed to run. [/quote]

Do you really think the common student will have the necessary amount of intelligence needed to make the decisions and go through with processes that a SMOB will have to do? The idea seems kinda like just giving the job to the intern with little to no experience [/quote]

Actually, YES! There is no education or grade requirement for ANY OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS.  Why should the SMOB be restricted?

Easy answer: So they are controlled by the MCPS administrators that run the SMOB position.  [/quote]
