[quote=Anonymous]PP, you need to calm down that anxiety will age you horribly. The fact that MCPS notifies the community about Eric Lang and they were transparent in starting the progress from scratch shows MCPS attempting to get this right. They simply could have pushed ahead with the first RFP and not told the commmnity anything. It seems that MCPS is trying to learn from their first mistake of excluding the community. I’m also sure it was a lot of work to have to re-submit for a second RFP. You can’t say anything is trending down because the proposals aren’t even in yet. The fact that MCPS does a curriculum review every ten years is progress. Do VA schools do curriculum reviews by reputable universities? I’ve been on those VA forums and everyone is in a field of daises about their curriculum and SOL’s. Don’t even get me started on the mess that is all things DCPS and charter!! I’d love to see UVA do a curriculum analysis of Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Loudon and Prince William counties. The only reason why MoCo pushed common core 2.0 was because of federal funding received for the state of MD for common core. Many states rushed to implement it and have dropped it. MD is doing the same. I am not making excuses for MCPS but rather pointing out simple facts. Did MCPS make a crap show with 2.0? Certainly! Is MCPS going to listen to JHU recommendations about more effective curricula? It sure looks that way.

In the mean time, email Dr. Smith with your desires along with the BOE. Someone on here earlie rmentioned gathering your PTA. I fully support that instead of fear-lingering, twittling your thumbs and being full of anxiety. I’d rather do without the stress lines. [/quote]
