[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. Attendance is meaningless these days. I had a student last year miss almost her entire senior year of school. No good reason for it either. Turned in a few half-assed assignments in the first week of June and the school let her graduate [/quote]
Teacher PP.  What are your thoughts on this article about MCPS?  Am I right to understand that the BOE is too hands off and central office policies are well-intentioned but ultimately, damaging to county attendance?

I liked the article. I think it did a good job summarising some of the big issues. BOE is too far away from what is actually happening in schools. I assume that central office is well meaning but I have not been impressed by most central office people. They don’t seem to care about teachers or students. It is more about preserving the positive image of MCPS and trying to keep MCPS from being sued. And they are doing a lousy job of both of those things [/quote]Add on the fact that progs can't identify most of MCPS's actual problems because racism and MCPS is like an alcoholic that refuses to admit there's a problem.[/quote]
