[quote=Anonymous]MCPS has been going downhill since Weast left.  Reminds me of the classic story of dysfunction:

It starts with an incoming manager (in our case, Superintendent) replacing a recently fired outgoing manager (Starr). On his way out, the outgoing manager hands the new manager three envelopes and remarks, "when things get tough, open these one at a time."

About a year goes by and things are rough. The manager opens his drawer where he keeps the three envelopes and opens #1. It reads: "Blame your predecessor." So he does and it works like a charm.

Another year passes and things are growing difficult again so the manger figures to try #2. It reads, "reorganize." Again, his predecessor's advice works like magic.

Finally, about the third year into the new job, things are getting really sticky. The manager figures it worked before, why not try again. So he opens the envelope drawer one last time and opens #3. It reads..."prepare three envelopes."

So reorganize a failing system and watch what happens.  What was the shining star of the county goes further downhill, more educated wealthy people either send their kids to private school or leave the county.  Then what?[/quote]
