[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They raised our taxes for this freakshow too.

Can we just admit MCPS is one giant baby sitting program for a bunch of delinquent losers with trash parents?

Zero education is going on. I am sick and tired of the argument 'It's for the schools!' as justification for constantly raising our taxes. [/quote]
They raised taxes less than inflation. Doesn't take a CPA to see the inherent problem there.[/quote]

Motivated kids will get their education. We can't make schools into prisons. There is definitely a societal cost when there are a bunch of undereducated adults roaming around.  How enforcement oriented to we expect the schools to be?  If the parents aren't reinforcing the value of education, attending class, good grades, how do we expect the schools to deal with it?[/quote]

It takes more than motivation to get an education. If all that was needed was desire and hard work, it wouldn’t matter if teachers are burnt out or classmates are disruptive. The fact is that those things do matter. And they matter a lot, in fact.

Usually second marking period is when I experiment with something new that challenges both students and myself. It’s the time of year when I typically know the students’ skills and personalities well enough to let them help design quarter-long a learning experience unique to the current year. This year, absenteeism means many are little more than a name on a roster followed by a string of 50%s. Even those I do know have such huge skill deficiencies that we can’t stray far from the basics.
