[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make no mistake, MCPS talks a big game about equity but they cave a lot to the squeakiest wheels which are wealthy white parents.[/quote]

This is hysterical [NOT], as my children are at a W, and we get ignored by MCPS and the BOE.  They cave to everything for TP/SS.  If we want something done, we have to fund it ourselves, which are fortunate to be able to do.  But it has nothing to do with MCPS caving to us, and everything to do with parents spending money on things that should have been provided.  [/quote]

Please describe the things that MCPS should have provided, that the parents provided instead. [/quote]

I'd like to see the response to this as well. I was PTA president at a non-W/ non-Title I school and there were quite a few things that the county was supposed to provide, and would have provided, had the principal been willing to push hard enough. But MCPS makes it so hard to get certain materials and services that it's easier to just have the PTA/parents fund it so they can get it done quicker and circumvent the system. I'm not saying this is always the case but I saw it happen over and over again at my kids' school. We had a good fundraising program in place so the money wasn't an issue but it's hard to convince the school administration to fight with the central office when the PTA is willing/able to be an ATM.
