[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He shouldn't have bothered apologizing.  You people are relentless.  Nothing will make you happy, ever.  It's very sad.[/quote]

I don't rely on MCPS to make me happy. That would be a horrible way to live. I would love for them to treat parents and teachers with a basic level of courtesy and honesty. Apparently, that is too much to ask.[/quote]

+1. I'm actually very often happy with MCPS. This situation was a mistake and [b]the letter from Taylor contains what very much looks like a lie (that the announcement was made in error and should have been a delay)[/b]. It's fine to be unhappy about that. I can expect both reasonable decision making and honesty about those decisions. That's not "relentless."[/quote]

How is that "a lie"? He's saying that cancelling morning child care was a mistake, that it should have been delayed instead.[/quote]

He said "Today’s delay also meant that we canceled morning childcare for some families, where before school care is provided at some of our schools by community partners. This[b] announcement [/b]was made in error and should have been a delay.[b]

This text indicates the error was in the announcement, not the decision, and seems to shift the blame to the person in charge of disseminating the announcement, not the person who made the decision.

The correct way to say this is that "I made the decision to cancel morning childcare provided by community partners, and I now realize that decision was unwise and harmful". [/quote]
