[quote=Anonymous]The exchange between the MCPS teacher and rude MCPS employee that you just saw, is a great example of how broken MCPS is from the inside. This plays out everywhere in MCPS. Innovation is frowned upon. There is never any accountability or critical self reflection. Its all about protecting the MCPS employees who are in place.

Teachers who raise any common sense concerns over the terrible curriculum, removing exams, the latest "trend" being forced down that has no evidence anywhere of efficacy but is really a cost savings measure, and more time being spent collecting data for MCPS than giving students feedback are immediately shut down. Everyone is expected to tow the party line as their number one priority, students come last.

This is why MCPS continues to decline. It will never begin to tackle any problems until it can create a culture of accountability and achievement within its own organization.

A new superintendent SHOULD be someone strong enough to be a change agent and clean house. The MCPS status quo loved Starr because he didn't do anything other than primp himself on social media. He was ineffective so they were all safe. The system needs someone tough and capable of running a large organization but the MCPS lifers will fight tooth and nail against this. [/quote]
