[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is probably breathing a sigh of relief that this happened in a lower SES school. One of the biggest inequities is that MCPS can get away with anything at schools where parents don't have resources to fight them. If this happened in the Churchill cluster, the parents have the money and connections to tear MCPS apart. I know that I would if this ever happened to my child.

MCPS talks a big game about doing things to help disadvantaged kids, but when it lets them down in the worst way possible, it lawyers up and sits on the sidelines and acts like there's nothing to see here.  How many kids in this school come from non-traditional or undocumented families that fear approaching the authorities?  How many of the victims had already moved out of the area or didn't learn about the completely unannounced informational meetings?  How heavily is MCPS relying on poverty and language barriers to get away with being complicit in this crime?  I hope the prosecutor is looking very closely at those questions.  MCPS, why worry about the achievement gap?  Maybe we should start a tally of the crimes against children gap.  Does this happen and get swept under the rug in Bethesda?[/quote]
