[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all disappointing to hear. I don't think anyone here knows what goes on in MCCPTA. MCCPTA is involved in a host of issues to make school a better place for all MCPS children and families.  These are extremely dedicated parents who fight HARD to advocate. Nothing is perfect but here are some of the initiatives...

Outdoor lunches during Covid--MCCPTA
Covid testing in schools--MCCPTA
Restorative Justice--MCCPTA
Restraint and Seclusion (against)--MCCPTA
Removing SROs--MCCPTA
Equitable practices for identifying GT/magnet students--MCCPTA
Special education IEP compliance--MCCPTA
Water and air testing for all schools--MCCPTA
Improving communications from MCPS to parents--MCCPTA
Advocacy for a new superintendent search--MCCPTA
On and on...

Don't be ungrateful. If you want to get involved to help make a difference, volunteers are wanted.

Are you kidding?  LOL. Are you trying to turn parents off from the PTA?  Not sure if you are being sarcastic.

Restorative Justice?  No thank you.  I have seen what the results of that has been in my kids ES and MS.

Removing SROs?  Despite the fact that principals wanted them to stay?  And despite the fact that our SRO is amazing.  No thanks.

Equitable practices for GT?  Not on your life has this been a good thing.

Yeah, that is EXACTLY why I will not be giving a penny to either school’s PTA ever again.  I will donate to classrooms and to our Band teacher.  But otherwise, the PTA is completely opposite of what I would like to see happening.

Which is totally fine, and it can advocate for what it’s members want.  Just pointing out that your ‘selling points’ of PTA advocacy might not appeal to all parents.  [/quote]

Really? I agree with the PP. The stuff your posting seems kind of crazy fringe. If you want to help get involved otherwise, stay out of the way. kthx.[/quote]
Thank you.  Things like restorative justice, removing SROs, and being obsessed with equity over excellence are fringe.  We need to elect reasonable people to the BOE who will hire reasonable administrators who will do away with this kind of nonsense.[/quote]

I honestly don't believe these people posting this right wing propaganda even live here. They're probably paid astroturfers pushing the usual resentments and trying to sew animosity and discontent. [/quote]
I'm the PP and I'm a liberal Democrat who lives near Churchill.  The things I mentioned are so far left, they're off the chart.[/quote]
