[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s like MCPS PR contracts were hired to constantly post to deflect any criticism of Dr. McKnight on DCUM. Great use of tax dollars.[/quote]

I agree with this. Either the person is paid to defend McKnight or the person has not been in a school this year or spoken to a teacher and/or principal. The defender seems so out of touch with the reality in the schools right now. I’d be okay if they mentioned that she was trying and shared some examples while actually also mentioning the flip side.

At the school I work at, 1/3 of the IEP case managers were never hired leaving the others with ridiculous caseloads. We never get substitutes and are pulled for coverage all day. The principal does not have permission to suspend students (that is correct- a principal needs permission!) so the disruptive students just run in the halls all day scaring the younger kids. There are full on fights in the halls and at recess but no extra staff to deal with it so the kids are just left to continue to disrupt and scare. Very few kids are at grade level, so teaching the grade-level curriculum is inappropriate so we have tears from students who actually want to learn. Teachers talk about quitting daily. It’s a mess. That’s the reality of MCPS right now.[/quote]

I feel the exact opposite. I'm so tired of the same posters reshashing the same weak issues day after day in a new thread. They're so persistent and it's like a broken record. It's pretty clear they're obsessed with McKnight or simply paid to sew grievance with schools as they did in VA to serve their political ends.  [/quote]

+1000 So true! Those posters' anti-McKnight posts lack any credibility. These issues have been repeatedly debunked but they just keep it at in the hope something will stick. I have little doubt they're paid political operatives that will stop to any level. [/quote]

I tried to take them seriously but their issues are weak at best. It seems more like nitpicking than anything credible.  They're biggest issues concern funding sports for disabled children and a recruitment trip to an HBCU.[/quote]
