[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am more amused by your thought that parents have any input or say in anything mcps does.  Sure, mcps meets with the community, they might even listen to the community.  Then they do whatever it was they were planning to do anyway.  When mcps meets with community members, for any reason, it is 100% to "check the box" so their spokesperson can say they met with the community and has zero meaningful results.[/quote]

People often think that "have input into" means "do what I want," but it doesn't. Yes, parents have input. No, MCPS doesn't necessarily do what this parent or that parent or the other parent wants. Or even this or that group of parents.[/quote]

BOE simply doesn't care about even majority of opinion in  things like naming school. In RM#5 naming survey, majority favoured 2 names and BOE picked a name which was lobbied for political purpose. Why even ask for opinion and then get the opinion that majority want either name A or name B and then ignore the oinion?

It's dog and pony show.[/quote]

One group of people wanted one name, another group of people wanted a different name, the BoE decided. That's how the process works. The fact that they didn't choose the name you wanted, doesn't mean they don't care what anybody thinks. It just means that they didn't choose the name you wanted.
