[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]McKnight is an embarrassment and I'm furious MCPS spent so much money and we ended up with her anyway. I think having a non-white female would have been great but why her? I have never figured out what she has to offer. Because she doesn't have what it takes, it makes lots of women look bad.

I find her to be just infuriating. I want to hear what she has to say but [b]she sounds like an idiot, and I don't sense she cares about these kids (her treatment of them during Covid was enough for me) and her inability to communicate effectively is humiliating for an adult in her position.[/b]

Agree.  I guess nobody else wants the job.

MCPS is a large, dysfunctional, miserable school district on a downward trajectory.  Hard to turn a ship this large around.  Nobody wants to hop on a sinking ship.  [/quote]

Really? I think it's so much better today than when I attended a W back in the 90s. My kids are getting a much better education than I did, but I also try to ensure they get the most out of it. In fact, it's only dysfunctional for parents who expect the county to raise their kids.[/quote]

So did I and the education is not better.  The only better I see is writing and computer skills.  They lack the basics in math in es.  The no textbooks, little homework lacks any type of reinforcement.  The lack of reading books is also bad too. [/quote]

Your kids must be slow. Mine are in Algebra 2 in 8th. They didn't even offer that 20 years ago.[/quote]

Just because Algebra 2 is being offered in 8th grade does not mean that it is being taught well.

Just look at the abysmal test results. [/quote]

Agreed.  My son is in the class now, easily earning As, but he still doesn't understand what he's doing.  It's not even remotely like what I learned in Algebra II.   No wonder I keep hearing that so many kids go on to struggle their first year in college. [/quote]

Really? Your kid must be slow then. The curriculum is excellent. My kid managed to get a near perfect score on their MCAP even.[/quote]

Maybe your kid did, but the majority of kids did not.

And a ‘near perfect’ score on MCAP?  I’m pretty sure you are a troll.  [/quote]

My kid paid attention during the pandemic and actually shows up to class. Meanwhile your kids are passed out in the bathroom or vaping and you wonder why they are doing poorly.[/quote]

If your kids are in-person now you shouldn't be so arrogant.  You don't really actually know if they are going to class or just pretending.[/quote]

Okay, while your kid watches TikTok videos during class mine doesn't have a phone and that is another reason why your child does poorly.[/quote]

My kid has no interest in TikTok.  They goof off on other things.  And, yes, I know about it because I see what they are doing every day.  And, they have excellent grades so good try.[/quote]
