[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading between the lines of what she said, which seems like a direct response to McKnight throwing several admins out of MCPS as the scapegoats for the Beidleman debacle, MCAAP appears to be saying:

1) Our ability to do our jobs and be effective is hindered by your poor communications, lack of consistency and policy, and absence of vision.

2) McKnight and the BoE are all talk but no action.

3) [b]McKnight and the BoE are focused on things (antiracism, LGBTQ+ books and representation) that detract from what should be MCPS's main focus: Teaching and learning[/b]

4) McKnight and the BoE really suck at listening and communicating

If MCAAP, the MCEA and parents are all saying similar things about MCPS and McKnight, I think it's pretty clear who the problem is with. How much longer can this state of affairs last?

Standing ovation.  Im an Uber progressive. When I see my children actually distracted from learning by things like pride dances at lunch (when they're supposed to be finishing work) I become less and less progressive.  School has a purpose. That purpose is academics. I'm happy to see progressive topics included in the curriculum but more and more I see the academic curriculum thrown to the side. Wellness lessons replace core academics. I'm so tired of it. I wouldn't send my children to mcps if I had known what was going on.[/quote]

The jobs of tomorrow will rely less heavily on the traditional academic content and more on soft skills such as getting along with people of different races, religions,  secual orientation, etc. If more families were teaching their kids these explicit skills/thoughts, the schools wouldn't have to do it. We have the scary levels of -isms throughout society because the majority are not doing it.

Schools are getting away from their original purpose because society has failed our youth and educators are left holding a bag they didn't want to hold. Then people get on these blogs and emails to bad mouth these same educators.  Its a vicious cycle, and these combined reasons and more are why educators are leaving the field in droves.[/quote]

What a load of horse manure[/quote]

Really? Why are there so many racist and antisemitic messages found at schools? Because the people at the schools are influenced by their families' bigoted thoughts. Someone's got to teach the counterstory which ends up being the schools. [/quote]
