[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a bullshit letter. We see right through this hey keep all the rich white school is the same and don’t rush anything else. GTFO[/quote]

Huh?  How'd you get that from the petition?  It's not about favoring rich white schools at all.  Did you read it?[/quote]

NP- As an upcounty resident who read the petition and the comments about 50 MCCPTA delegates, I won’t be signing this petition despite agreeing with some of its points.  Why?  Because it seems to overwhelming focus on certain areas and not take into account the needs of many others parts of the county.  This is evident by calling out Silver Spring and the DCC without even a bit of acknowledgement that others in the boundary studies experience split articulations.  Further, 50 MCCPTA delegates when there is more than 200 schools, mean there vote represents less than 1/4 of the districts schools.

Folks are constantly talking about MCPS needing to reach out and communicate more and better.  Seems the same can be said for this effort against MCPS.[/quote]

I"m an MCCPTA delegate and there were over 130 people at the delegates meeting representing over 50 schools and all the clusters.

I voted for the resolution. I don't like the DCC, but I don't think this model has been thought through yet. I'd much rather see strong local schools.[/quote]

They aren’t offering to make all the DCC schools strong so what do you consider strong?   We will have to bail.  This is a nightmare.  We choose our home school for one child and will not for the second due to the lack of course offerings. My kid has to go to MC or somewhere else in in two years as there are not enough classes to graduate.  I cannot even figure out how to make Mc work with sports and transport without me quitting my job and child dropping out of sports they’ve been doing for years.  [/quote]

This is crazy catastrophizing. There are not enough classes to graduate? You could only possibly be talking about math? Standard advanced level around here is calc junior year. Then can take AP stats senior year. Or a two year IB math sequence. [/quote]
