[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to Taylor. I hope he will get rid of the honors for all model. It is really not helpful to anyone. [/quote]

He isn’t making any changes.  [/quote]

Really? No changes at all, even though the last super was fired? [/quote]

Have you seen any changes?[/quote]

I don't feel like I'm in a position to know whether he has made changes. I'm a parent, not a teacher/staff member.[/quote]

As a parent, you should pay attention to what's going on.  Have you seen or heard of any changes?  If you haven't he hasn't done much.[/quote]

To be fair, MOST parents would not yet see the changes of Taylor's leadership. [b]Only parents who are very engaged with the system through PTSA or other advocacy groups or watch all local news and BOE meetings would be in a position to tell if there's been a shift or not. And that's a minority group of parents who have that time, energy or interest[/b].[/quote]

Which is exactly the problem.  Only a small fraction of parents are engaged.[/quote]

Engaging with the system is at minimum a part-time job and easily a full-time one if you want it to be. Laura Stewart certainly turned it into one.

Most normal, middle-class parents can't afford to give away that much of their time for free and sustain a living.

If the system requires a significant portion of parents to donate their free labor to function well, then I would say that's a broken, dysfunctional structure.[/quote]

No it's not.  Be part of the PTA and followup on what the issues or concerns are at your school.  Discuss your concerns with the school/PTA.  Watch the BOE meetings.  They are recorded so you can watch them when you have time.  [/quote]

If you think being regularly involved in the PTSA and MCPS affairs at the level that PTA leadership requires is sustainable for MOST parents, then I don't think you have a firm grasp on reality. You might want to pull your head out of your backside and gain some perspective.[/quote]

Who said anything about PTA leadership??  Most people aren’t just actively members in the PTA.[/quote]
