I’m from MoCo and I think they should yank funds from MoCo for this stupidity! They are more corrupt than Baltimore - fix it please. [/quote]

What money should who yank from Montgomery County, for what?[/quote]

Maybe they mean the Curriculum 2.0 stuff from MCPS. They decided to pay millions to create their own materials instead of just using existing materials like every other school system. Then, they paid a vendor to write the materials, and the vendor gets to keep those materials MCPS paid for and re-sell them at will. A bunch of 2.0 MCPS staff ended up going to work for the vendor for nice pay raises.

Here's a sort of summary of that mess:

Everybody knows about Curriculum 2.0, PP. MCPS paid for it. Again, who's going to yank which money from Montgomery County, for what?[/quote]

Yes, everyone knows about the Curriculum 2.0 mess but someone else upthread was trying to blame Hogan for the dysfunction in MCPS.  Which is just crazy because MCPS was 100% responsible for the Curriculum fiasco.

Maybe MCPS will end up like Philly, where the state takes over and improves the school district due to all the terrible mismanagement.  Philly has gotten so much better with the addition of charter schools and more options for the kids.  [/quote]

The state is going to take over the strongest district in the state and a district that performs far better than the vast majority of districts nationwide?

MCPS has plenty of issues and maybe it has coaster based on demographics to a degree, something that is more difficult as demographics change, but some of the MCPS hatred here is just crazy.[/quote]

Strongest district in the state?  Did you see the recent article about state PARCC scores?  MCPS was NOT at the top.[/quote]
