[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, don't get me started.  Wait, it has happened.

We are in the financial hole we are in because O'Malley was too busy mugging for the cameras in an attempt to get the 2016 Democratic nomination for president than to tend to Maryland.  The representatives in Annapolis are too busy admiring their self-importance than to realize that the budget has been running at a deficit.  Hogan is taking on a tough problem, and it is just too bad none of us like how he trying to solve it.

As for MCPS, it is a bloated bureaucracy in which students are merely widgets.  [b]The students do not come first.  I don't even think the teachers do anymore.  The school system has taken on a life of its own driven by the central office.[/b]   Hell, the start time problem is all driven by the counties inability to actually meet all of the needs of the children because they so heavily rely on busses rather than neighborhood schools.  Starr doesn't care, since this is merely a stepping stone.  NY Times in December noted the reason Start didn't get the NYC job is because Arne Duncan scuttled it over Starr's opinion on testing for common core.  I actually think Starr was right on this one, but the evidence is he is on to bigger and better things than MCPS.  So, just like O'Malley, he is leaving others to mind the store.

[b]Maybe hard budget cuts will cut some of the MCPS bureaucracy[/b].[/quote]

+1000 - When was the last time jobs (other than secretarial) were cut at the Carver Center?  Why are so many layers of bureaucracy needed?  The head office is so out of touch with what is happening day to day at schools in MCPS that they are ineffectual in doing the jobs that they are assigned.[/quote]
