[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know if MCPS gave all the kids eclipse glasses and had a mass viewing, parents would be on here complaining about that today. [/quote]
Sounds like there's no need to consider parent feedback or suggestions, because MCPS parents will complain no matter what you do.  Got it.  As an ex-teacher and MCPS parent, this is the attitude I encounter from my kids' schools, and I find it infuriating.  [/quote]

I find it infuriating that parents will complain no matter what they do. That should be clear to anyone who follows this site.[/quote]

This is exactly right.  I'm a frequent critic of MCPS but criticizing them for deciding to leave this up to individual schools is ridiculous.  FWIW, our school's PTA bought glasses for everyone and kids were brought outside to watch the eclipse.  A friend I talked to in another part of the county said their ES did the same.  For you complainers, what efforts did you make to help bring about a different result? 
Did you work with your school's PTA to ask the principal to consider a school-wide event?  Did you organize a parent fundraiser to ensure that every student had a pair of eclipse glasses?  Or did you just whine about it after the fact?  [/quote]
