[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You seem really triggered by other people advocating for their communities. We're not going to stop just because you want us to stfu.[/quote]

DP.  But pot…kettle…African American.[/quote]

Huh? I have no problem with up county advocating for itself. PP doesn't seem to want to do that, just attack DCC parents.

Funny how so many people are so angry the DCC doesn't want to lose its programs but nobody has a problem with all the special classes at wealthy schools that most other schools don't have.[/quote]

What makes you believe that people don’t have problems with the wealthy schools have classes that others can’t access? Once again ya’ll seem to be making statements that are false in nature without doing any research to understand the other parts of the district?  Oh and no one said you had to stop advocating for your community.  What they said was they wouldn’t be joining you since[b] you’ve made it crystal clear in you and the DCC against everyone else.[/b][/quote]

That's not what's in the letter. That is a narrative you have created in your head. Sorry you won't be joining us but it sounds like you are not aligned with us and frankly just have animus towards the DCC. Maybe you work for CO since they clearly do too.[/quote]

Is it a created narrative when the letter specifically calls out Silver Spring, the DCC, or SSIMS without mentioning any place else?  If you wanted it to be neutral either don’t call out any school/area and make generalized comments OR include a more wide ranging look at the issues created across the district while acknowledging the vast problems and complaints this seeks to solve.[/quote]

This is a petition written by people from a particular part of the county trying to organize other folks from their part of the county so of course it is going to mention issues relevant to the people they are focusing on trying to get to sign... that's not malicious or oppositional and doesn't imply not caring about other parts of the county, it's just standard organizing.  You're acting like it was designed to be a countywide petition when it obviously wasn't?   Like, the authors have said that people from anywhere are welcome to sign it, but if you want a countywide petition you should write one, not complain that other people didn't and that it must mean that they hate other parts of the county or are super self-centered or something.[/quote]
