[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man am I glad we left this system. They have lost their way, and keep blundering further into the wilderness. No leadership, focused on DEI pseudoscientific garbage, keeping schools closed for a year... incredible to me that any parents keep defending this bloated, ineffective bureaucracy. [/quote]

No, you kook. We are all tired of the nonsense. And the deflection.  My child doesn't know how to capitalize a sentence. How to write an essay or even a proper paragraph.  If you want poc to excel (as they should) focus on the meaningful things to raise everyone up. Not drag everyone down.
And we all are tired of the deflection to "duh, you're a racist!" When people try to point out the real issues.

- not your pp.[/quote]

My daughter learned how to capitalize sentences in first grade I guess your kid wasn't paying attention?[/quote]

To highlight PPs implicit bias that is common in MCPS when a child is not performing at age expected levels - blame the child or the parent because the child did not learn.

Sometimes children have special needs so to access the curriculum and learn skills, they need specialized instruction and services.

Compound the child’s special needs with English as a second language, the child is black, or the child is a quiet female student. Other implicit biases may compound the child’s fate - ie the child cannot learn because she needs to learn English first, the child is lazy and doesn’t receive support at home, or the child is just not bright.

What MCPS has a responsibility to do is comprehensively evaluate the child to determine her needs and address those needs. Blaming the child, the parent, a language issue, the child’s race or family dynamics, or the child’s gender does not help the child. At the end of the day, all children want to learn and succeed. MCPS has a responsibility to provide a Free Appropriate Public Education so every child has an opportunity to learn.

Surveys will not end the broad divide of discrimination in MCPS. Funding for smaller class sizes, grants so more teachers are trained in Special Education, more school psychologists for performing the educational testing, and training from the Superintendent to every level down to the Para Educators is what is needed. I am constantly shocked at how many Principals and Central Office staff do not know the law so they flagrantly make violations. “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity,” Martin Luther King, Jr. 1968.

I'm the pp above and the point has been missed.

My child can't write correctly yet they are an A student who completed the CES program years ago. It's not that my child does poorly. It's that my child does extremely well, yet lacks basic skills.

This will effect them in their college career and beyond.[/quote]

Maybe get a writing tutor to help?[/quote]
