[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The email is fine. You all love to complain about everything. It is a nightmare job.

Yep there is absolutely nothing wrong with his email. [/quote]

There’s plenty wrong with it[/quote]

Sends a terrible message that he dgaf and won't listen to anyone[/quote]

It actually reads as the opposite.  It says that he won't bow to political pressure from politicians who are pandering to constituents and will instead rely on the data.[/quote]

You are a grade-A fool if you actually believe Taylor and/or MCPS don't bow to political pressures.[/quote]

So do you want him to do that?  Or don't you?[/quote]

I am the PP who said he dgaf (not the person who said you're a fool).

There is difference between not bowing to political pressures - which implies doing the right thing despite powerful people being opposed to doing the right thing - and simply not listening to people. Certainly, many people could argue closing Wootton is the correct and fiscally responsible thing to do and he is brave to propose that. Maybe he is, I think it is a complicated choice and a difficult situation.

But there are many examples of him proposing the wrong thing. Like setting up dozens new programs in high schools without adequate support and at the same time dismantling existing structures that have been built up over decades. With no real effort to gather community input (all they have done is push information out to the community and they haven't set up a way to gather or report out community feedback).

Ignoring the community is not a good way to make decisions. MCPS central staff pushing out decisions that aren't informed by community members or school staff means decisions that are disconnected from communities and their needs.[/quote]
