[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should not have extended virtual school if they cannot even fund the brick and mortar schools with fidelity. They should not be throwing away millions of dollars on useless programs like Leader in me and paying for useless professional development like the one in the fall that seemed to insult and outrage practically 100% of teachers. They could get rid of the useless mentor teacher program that is completely ineffective. [/quote]

I wish they would get rid of Leader in Me fully, phase out virtual school with this being the last year so families can make plans, stop restorative justice -so no more staff or training for that,  move back to largely paper based work for K-5 and with that return to a cart model for chrome books rather than having each child need one.  Making sure every child in MCPS has a working chrome book is just not possible and also not necessary for the younger grades when screen should be limited anyways.

Also, MCPS needs to push back at Montgomery county for not having enough social workers and mental health support staff available at the community run level for low income residents.  It is absurd that Montgomery county expects MCPS to do the whole lift of mental health help for Montgomery county kids. Montgomery county needs to do a better job funding and running non-school based mental health programs and also family support programs and food resource programs. This cannot fall all on the schools.  Schools need to use their budget for teaching not being the primary provider of low income social services.  And, we need SROs back since the violence is just too much now.  Teachers need to be able to teach without fear of injury.
