[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure why some of the teachers on this board are so quick to be negative.  It’s a pilot at 2 schools that was just approved on Monday.  Give McPS a chance to try it and see what happens.  If it’s a failure it obviously won’t continue.  And if it’s not (and some of the data up thread point to positive outcomes), then that’s a great thing for kids.[/quote]

Those of us who have been in MCPS for a long time understand that MCPS cherry picks data and spins it to support whatever they want their narrative to be, whether that's what's really going on or not. I'm interested to see the data, but I don't trust the data that MCPS puts out there--if that makes sense. [/quote]

+1. See the suspension data--MCPS pats themselves on the back that the suspension rate has been lowered, but that doesn't mean behavior has improved. In fact, it's gotten worse now that there aren't meaningful consequences for the behavior. Central Office is either unaware or doesn't care about what's really going on in schools because they're not the ones who have to deal with it--they only care about optics. [/quote]
