[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people so pissed off at Principal Mooney? He did send out a message, although it was via the [b]stupid MCPS app[/b] so nobody saw it. And I don't know anyone in a position of responsibility at any organization who can simply issue a public statement without review by PR types and lawyers.

As a BCC parent, I'm more annoyed with the PTSA, whose president sneered that parents who are advocating for the return of SROs should "check your privilege."[/quote]

Did you complete the MCPS survey to give feedback about remind app? The survey came out ironically after the BCC letter was posted to this thread.[/quote]

I haven't but will. The idiotic PTSA messages all come into my inbox, even though most of them are ridiculous. (Really, you think that banning phones in schools will prevent weapons?? How delightfully quaint!) Meanwhile I have to hunt for official communications from the school or MCPS on an app I rarely utilize.

I'd rather the messages from parents with more time than sense go to an app, and have the messages from school leadership show up in my inbox.

And btw, for the white PTSA president to dismiss parental concerns about weapons in school as "privilege" is beyond cringe.[/quote]

I agree that the PTSA president’s “check your privilege” comment was heavy-handed and unnecessary, but she’s done more than any of the parents complaining on the listserv to get answers and to keep our kids safe. I attended the January meeting with Dr. Mooney and several people from central office. I’m sure that was a heavy lift for the PTSA president. While attendance was good, the room should’ve been overflowing with concerned parents (it wasn’t). There was an update on safety at last week’s PTSA meeting (advertised on the listserv, so if you saw the privilege comment you must have seen the PTSA meeting agenda!). There were about 20 parents there and most were PTSA board members. At that meeting the PTSA president talked about the work of the newly-formed safety commitee (a call for volunteers went out on the listserv). [b]People love to complain, but want other people to do all the work[/b].[/quote]

So true!![/quote]
