[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand MCPS is huge, but is it really that difficult to standardize on one platform, given proper planning and a generous schedule?[/quote]

It's not. But no one person knows ALL the systems they have. And they get lobbied by so many vendors. A SW audit is needed and eliminate all extra crap. I'd rather they hire their own IT pros for $200k a year and develop something useful than buy too many things that don't fit. [/quote]

You aren't going to get a replacement for all these features for $200k/yr.

What's needed is for the customers to coordinate and demand fixes from benfors, and for teachers to get some sense knocked into them and put together one packet for the whole semester with all the assigned work. [/quote]

They spent a million dollars on an app to tell you if the bus is on the road or not, a failure that *might* happen once in a students life. They can fork some money over to make the software every single student uses every single day is contributing to kids struggling or supporting/enhancing them.[/quote]

From a technical point, these things are set up terribly. Even a non technical person could have figured that they are.[/quote]
